What is a proper adjective?

Proper adjectives come from proper nouns. Proper adjectives are very specific and, furthermore, used within the outline of a noun. This is often a daily adjective.

Proper adjectives are words or sets of words that modify or describe a noun or pronoun. After modification, adjectives can come before or after.

Proper adjectives are made from proper nouns and modify nouns and pronouns. A proper noun is a particular name used for any person, place, or thing; it typically resembles their original proper nouns but has some sort of alternative end.

examples:

a). He lives in the USA (proper noun)

b) He likes the US holidays. (Proper adjective)

These adjectives start with capitalization.

a). When she lived in China, Liz ate a lot of Chinese food.

If proper adjectives have a prefix, the prefix itself is never capitalized.

However, the proper adjective itself is still capitalized.

a)  In pre-Columbian America, corn was the Only cultivated cereal.
