C1 Adjective Rules:
- Adjective order: Opinion-Size-Age-Shape-Color-Origin-Material-Purpose-Noun
- Intensifiers: Use "extremely," "absolutely," "completely" with non-gradable adjectives; "very" with gradable ones
- Compound adjectives: Hyphenate when they precede a noun — e.g., well-documented evidence
- Gradable vs. non-gradable: "Furious" is non-gradable; use "absolutely furious," not "very furious"
- Position: Predicate adjectives follow linking verbs; attributive adjectives precede nouns
- Collocations: Certain adjectives require specific prepositions — e.g., responsible for, interested in
- Adjective + infinitive: Some adjectives require "to" + verb — e.g., eager to learn, reluctant to change
