Please Help me finding Adjectives in the following Stanza.At least 4 adjective.


Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and stuffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep
Who dare while others fly.
They build a nation's pillars deep.
And lift them to the sky.

Shafeeq Ahmad, please take a look at this extract from the Posting Guidelines:

Post Titles
Thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed. (Avoid phrases like "HELP!", "Urgent!", "translation please", "how do I say this", "I'm new" and similar expressions.)

Correct???
Gold
Great
Honour
Pillars
Deep

 

[Raymott]

Correct???
Gold - No, 'gold' is a noun.
Great - Yes, and if you've chosen this, why not "strong" as well?
Honour - Noun.
Pillars - No.
Deep - Yes.

So, you have: great, strong, deep.
There's also an obvious one at the start of line 5.

There are six adjectives in total in the piece. You have found two of them so far. If you cannot spot the adjectives immediately, try to remove the words which you know are not adjectives first. Remove all the verbs. Remove the nouns. Remove the prepositions (if you know what they are).

I can only find four! Now I wonder what I"m missing!

Given the guesses in #4, I don't think that method would work.

It will if the OP is prepared to look at least some of the words up in a dictionary to see if they're nouns or not. Mind you, the OP could just look them all up and find the adjectives too! I'm just trying to avoid giving the answers on a plate.

By the way, Shafeeq Ahmad, the fourth line should contain the word "suffer", not "stuffer".
