Adjetives

Adjectives

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun*. Adjectives can denote a quality of the noun being modified or they can extend, complement or quantify the size or extent of the noun. Adjectives are words that name or indicate qualities, features, characteristics or properties of the noun which they modify.

Examples:

the tall man As a general rule, we follow the order in the table below when using more than one adjective together: Order Adjective Type Examples 1 opinion/value   delicious, wonderful, pretty… 2 size   short, big, small, tall… 3 age/temperature   new, old, young, hot, cold… 4 shape/form   round, fat, thin, square… 5 color   red, black, blue, green… 6 origin   Spanish, American, French… 7 material   silver, cotton, paper, iron… 8 use   electric, political… 9 name   bath (towel)… https://www.curso-ingles.com/en/learn/courses/basic-level/adjectives/adjectives EXERCISES Choose the correct adjective to complete the sentence: new / old / blue / small / big / long / short / hot / beautiful / red Sample An ant is very .

Question Tags

In English it is common to end the sentences with another short phrase, of the opposite sign, which has the intention of asking for the opinion or seeking approval from the interlocutor: these are called question tags. These phrases are equivalent to: right ?, Is not that right ?, right ?, Is not it? really?

Examples:

You eat meat, don’t you?(Comes carne, ¿verdad?)

Grammatical Rules

To form question tags, we use the auxiliary verb from the main phrase in the opposite form plus the subject. If there is no auxiliary in the main phrase, we use “to do”.

If the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is therefore in the negative and vice versa.

Examples:

Affirmative sentences:

Your brother is older than you, isn’t he?

You can help me, can’t you?

John is getting married, isn’t he?

You worked yesterday, didn’t you?

Sarah likes ice cream, doesn’t she?

Negative sentences:

You’re not from here, are you?

Kate’s not American, is she?

Peter never liked Susan, did he?

They didn’t go to class yesterday, did they?

You can’t dance, can you?

Note: Be careful with the verbs “to have” and “have got”.

Examples:

To have got:

They’ve got a dog, haven’t they?

To have:

They have a dog, don’t they?

Exception: With the verb “to be” in the first person in affirmative sentences, we use the third person in the question tag (“aren’t”).

Examples:

I am not wrong, am I?

I am wrong, aren’t I?
