Adjectives
Use adjectives to show the quality of something.
Point 1:
Adjectives are often used after a be verb
to describe the subject.
- He is funny.
- It is hot today.
- My house is old.
- You are so nice!
Point 2:
The be verb can change tenses, and the
adjective does not change form.
- He was happy.
- It will be hot tomorrow.
- My house was old and cold.
- You can be nice at times.
Point 3:
We sometimes add very and really to show greater intensity of a trait.
- Tokyo is really crowded.
- Rome is very old.
- She is really nice.
- He is very strict.
Point 4:
Adjectives can also describe a noun. If the noun
has a determiner or quantifier, it goes between
them and the noun.
- Russia is a big country.
- She is a nice lady.
- It was a difficult test.
- I bought some really nice shoes.
