Here are some examples:
Original sentence: The bright sunshine was glaring in my eyes.
Redundant adjective: The bright sunshine was brightly glaring in my eyes.
* "Bright" and "brightly" are both conveying the same idea of intensity. Using both is redundant.
Original sentence: The old antique was very valuable.
Redundant adjective: The ancient antique was very valuable.
* "Antique" already implies that the object is old. Using "ancient" is redundant.
Why avoid redundant adjectives?
* Clarity: Redundant adjectives can make your writing unclear and confusing.
* Conciseness: They add unnecessary words and make your writing longer than it needs to be.
* Impact: They can make your writing sound less impactful and less professional.
Note: Sometimes, using a redundant adjective can be effective for emphasis or for creating a particular tone. However, in most cases, it's best to avoid redundancy.
