3. USE OF ADJECTIVES TO
DESCRIBRE NOUNS
My name isYeimy Alexandra López. I am an
English teacher. Today, we will learn to use
adjectives when describing nouns.
Adjectives are words which tell us something
about nouns, that is about a person, an
animal, a thing or a place. They usually come
before the nouns they describe.

5. EXAMPLES:
 The girl is beautiful
 That snake is ugly
 Mike is tall
 Jhon is short
 Itis a big red chair
 The bag is small and old
 It is a French table
 Peter is thin and strong

6.  An adjective describes how something 'is'. For
this reason, we usually use the verb 'to be'
when using adjectives.
 Example:
 Maryis an intelligent woman.
 The students are very talkative.
 I am not too strong.

7.  Adjectives
don't have a singular and plural
form OR a masculine, femine and neuter form:
EXAMPLE: They are very intelligent students.
Karen is tall and thin.
 Adjectives are always the same! Never add a
final -s to an adjective.
EXAMPLE: A big white cat.
It is a big new house.
