The Attribute is a secondary part of a sentence which modifies nouns (and sometimes pronouns) giving them some kind of characteristic. Attributes may be expressed by an adjective, a pronoun, a noun in the genitive or СОГШПОП case, a noun with a preposition, an infinitive, an ing-form, a participle and, occasionally, an adverb. Depending on the closeness of syntactic ties between the attribute and its noun, we distinguish close and loose attributes. Close attributes form a tight sense unit with their noun. Loose attributes are less tightly connected with their nouns. Adding more information to or explaining what is being said in the sentence, they are regarded as a more independent member of the sentence and, hence, often separated by a comma from the rest of the sentence. 1) close attributes e.g. A large cat jumped down the window seat. 35
