English help
 
like the sentence "I am new here"

A:she's a new nurse here.
B:she's a nurse new here.
WHICH one is correct? Are both right?

Thank you.

"A" is correct.:)

Suki 05-02-2008 04:18 PM

Adjectives (new) always go before the noun (nurse).


Red car

Rainy day

Sandy beach

Striped necktie

Nice-assed hottie :D (in this case, hottie comes from the adjective 'hot' but it's a noun in this sentence, and nice-assed is the adjective that qualifies it)

A is correct.

The new nurse here.
She is the new nurse here.
He is the new nurse here.

It is ok to have 'here' in the sentence, but, generally, it is not necessary.
For example: "She is the new nurse."

Jaydelart is the new smarty-pants here.

Or you can twist it around and say: The new smarty pants here is Jaydelart.

English may seem easy to you, but since I am an editor I see just how difficult it is for even those who speak no other language but English.

I have found that learning French changed my sentence structure in English. Noun and verb placement seems more natural in the romance languages to me for some inexplicable reason. You would think having learned the "King's(Queen's) English" and then American English before French that my grammar would have been solid 17 years later.

Actually, English is one of the hardest languages to learn.
