Describing Characters How to describe people?

* In English there are words that describe people’s

character, and others to describe their physical

appearance These words are called “adjectives”

Remember:

-The Adjective is a word we use to tell us more about the noun

- It comes:

a before the noun: such as "a fat boy."

b after the verb "be": such as "Ahmad is thin."

- The adjective can be:

a short adjective: if it has one or two syllables (fast – heavy)

b long adjective: if it has more than two syllables (beautiful – dangerous)

Example:

- Grandpa is an old man, but he walks slowly

(In this case, the adjective “old” modifies the word “man”)
