Proper Adjectives

Many proper nouns can also be converted to proper adjectives. Here are a few examples: 


	PROPER NOUNS			PROPER ADJECTIVES
	  Mexico			  Mexican
	  Canada			  Canadian
	  France			  French
	  Germany			  German
	  Poland			  Polish
	  Korea				  Korean
As you can see, many times a proper noun naming a country can be converted to a proper adjective by changing the ending so that the final letter is an "n", but this is not always the case.

Here are some of these words in action: 


	Jill ate the tasty French fries.

	Jack loves Mexican food.

	Harry ate all the Canadian bacon.
