Adjectives

Adjectives are used to describe people and objects.

Are kate and john  young?       Yes, they’re young

V be + Sub. + description               (+) Sub. + v be + description

is your friend married?       No she’s not married, she’s single

V be + Sub+ description     (-)sub+v be+description + sub + v be+description

Usually in a sentence the adjectives have the following order:

Opinion + Size + Age + Shape + Colour + Origin + Material + Purpose+object

But not always necessary use all of them.

Opinion	An opinion adjective explains what you think about something (other people may not agree with you). For example: silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult
Size	A size adjective, of course, tells you how big or small something is. For example: large, tiny, enormous, Little
Age	An age adjective tells you how young or old something or someone is. For example: ancient, new, young, old
Shape	A shape adjective describes the shape of something. For example: square, round, flat, rectangular
Colour	A colour adjective, of course, describes the colour of something. For example: blue, pink, reddish, grey
Origin	An origin adjective describes where something comes from. For example: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek
Material	A material adjective describes what something is made from. For example: wooden, metal, cotton, paper
Purpose	A purpose adjective describes what something is used for. These adjectives often end with “-ing”. For example: sleeping (as in “sleeping bag”), roasting (as in “roasting tin”)

a small round reading lamp

article+ Sub+ description (shape + purpose)+ noun

A handsome slim Canadian snowboarder

Article+ Sub+ description (opinion + size + origin)+ noun

To describe people we can also use have (1° person) or has (3° person)

I         have                    He             has 

You    have                    She            has

We     have                     It              has

They   have

My sister's long straight black hair.  = My sister has long straight black hair.  

Sub + has + description (size+ shape + color) + noun

I’ve short curly black hair  =  I have short curly black hair 

Note:  when we find “ ‘s “ in a sentence can mean “is” like the next sentence:     

She is tall

but also can mean “has” :  She has big blue eyes

recordemos que “is/are” significan ser o estar, mientras que “has” significa 

tener asi que

“she is tall” (ella es alta) es correcto, no podemos decir “She  has tall” ( ella tiene alta) es incorrecto.

al mismo tiempo

“She has big blue eyes” ( ella tiene grandes ojos azules) es correcto por qué no podemos decir  “she is big blue eyes” (ella es grandes ojos azules) es incorrecto.

De esto podemos concluir que:

Is/are es usado para describir un sustantivo a grandes rasgos (sin grandes especificaciones) como en el ejemplo anterior:

She is tall -> no estamos indicando nada más que su estatura

Has/have es usado para describir un sustantivo detalladamente (con tantas especificaciones como queramos):

She has big blue eyes -> esta descripcion es más detallada, ya que indicamos el tamaño y color de los ojos.
