3. Proper Adjectives

Proper adjectives are made from proper nouns. Thus, they are always

capitalized. Their functions are just same as common nouns in which

they describe people, places and things. However, proper adjectives
are based on names of unique things, places or people.

Always remember, a word is an adjective when it describe a noun.

For example,

1. These Hollywood actors have their shooting at the seaside.

2. He wore a Hawaiian style outfit during his vacation.

3. They enjoy their vacation at Boracay beach very much.

All proper nouns can be made into or used as proper adjectives.
