ADJECTIVES in English
Do you want to add colour to your speech or writing? Try using appropriate, vivid adjectives to express your thoughts and feelings. Adjectives describe nouns by telling us more about them, e.g. their size, colour or shape.
Using adjectives to describe the things, people or ideas we are talking about helps our readers and listeners form a more vivid picture of them.
E.g.
• Please bring that beautiful leather bag to me. (expresses a positive opinion)
• She was a timid, nondescript girl when she was at school. (expresses a negative opinion)
