How to use Adjective in a sentence?

  1. Hillary Clinton:

    Yes, I know it makes great TV. I think the guy went way overboard -- offensive, outrageous, pick your adjective, but what Marco Rubio said has as much of an impact in terms of where the Republican Party is today as anybody on that stage, and it is deeply troubling. And it should be to the press, not just to those of us who have been doing this work for so long.

  2. Christian Joyal:

    The adjective `abnormal’ is judgmental, i don’t think it should appear in a psychiatry manual.

  3. Terrence Howard:

    Oh, it could mean love; sometimes it's a noun; sometimes it's a verb; sometimes it's an adjective; it's all, there's a spirit attached to it, you know, my dad uses it. My brothers use it. I use it. I'm sitting here, I'm hoping maybe I won't use it with my son, but I don't know if I'll be honest if I didn't use it with my son. You know, my friends use it. I call my white friends 'what's up, my n****?' You know, that's, it has taken on this term to us, but it's blown out of proportion outside the world, so I don't know.

  4. Peter Doocy:

    Their favorite adjective is Kennedyesque, they all talk about his hair and his teeth, they talk about no substance, nothing about his record, they don’t talk about his being open to abolishing [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], they don’t talk about his wanting to impeach the president.

  5. Taylor Pennington:

    Perfection is an adjective, not a state of being.
