Using 'attributively' in a sentence- How can 'attributively' be used?
"In the phrase 'red apple,' the adjective 'red' is used attributively because it comes before the noun it modifies."
Explanation:
When a word (often an adjective) is used attributively, it directly describes a noun and is placed before it, within the noun phrase.
For example:
"happy child" – "happy" is used attributively.
"a long journey" – "long" is attributive.
