Describing People and Objects
7.1 Introduction
Describing people and objects is an important communication skill in English. We use descriptive words (adjectives) to tell what someone looks like, how they act, and what objects look or feel like. This chapter teaches you how to describe physical appearance, personality, colors, sizes, materials, shapes, and everyday objects clearly and confidently.
You will learn commonly used descriptive sentences, how to describe people, how to describe objects, and how to use comparative and simple descriptive structures. A practice worksheet with four sections is also included to improve your accuracy.
