adjectives
I want to describe a river bank which has a lot of reeds, to the extent that I can see nothing else but reeds on the bank, till now I only came up with:
The river bank is fully covered with reeds
Is this sentence correct, and is there a much more beautiful way to say that?
When the wind blows, the rustling of the reeds is very good
I need to replace this adjective too, to convey such a feeling that I love listening to the rustling?
The out-running tide is tide which is running out. The participle-phrase can be turned into an adjective, but when that happens, the preposition, here out, is moved to the head:
When the tide is running out we can call it the out-running tide.
You won't necessarily find in a dictionary every adjective which can be formed in this manner.
Although it would be grammatical to transform almost any such phrase in this manner, if native speakers as a group don't tend to do so, the transformation would sound a little odd, or perhaps "literary". Here's an example:
His baggy trousers were slipping down.
He tightened his belt because he was wearing baggy down-slipping trousers.
Best Answer
The sentence looks perfect as is. However I have some alternatives:
"There were reeds all over the river bank"
"At the river bank, all I could see were reeds"
For the second one, you could say:
"When the wind blows, the rustling of the reeds is very soothing"
