Lezione di grammatica inglese online per studenti di livello elementare - Una spiegazione di alcuni comuni aggettivi con audio ed esercizi stampabili.

1) Adjectives describe nouns. Adjectives are always put before the nouns, and there can be more than one adjective.

  • Sara has a big dog.
  • There are some good restaurants in the area.
  • It is a useful tool for gardening.
  • We need to buy a new car.
  • I have a new red jacket.

Adjectives don't change depending on number.

  • I have a beautiful cat.
  • I have three beautiful cats.


2) Many adjectives derived from verbs can end in -ed or -ing.

When an adjective ends in -ed, it describes a state i.e. the feeling given by something.

  • I was interested in the book.
  • I'm excited about tomorrow.

When an adjective ends in -ing, active in meaning i.e. it describes the feeling given by something.

  • The news was shocking.
  • The book is really confusing.
  • The shocking news left us without words.
