The order of adjectives

Andres Blanco

One of the things that confuses people when they learn English is how to identify the adjectives and how to organize them.

Sometimes you can identify that a word in English is an adjective by its ending.

Some examples are perishable, manageable, comfortable, hormonal, referral, parental, angelic, anaerobic, analgesic, historical, economical, mythical, plentiful, cupful, meaningful, Spanish, devilish, bluish, retrospective, sportive, imaginative, valueless, reckless, dauntless, contemptuous, beauteous, capacious, furious, rebellious, religious, chilly. sleepy, sunny.

An there are some categories to classify them.

So, if you want to talk like a native speaker, you better learn about the correct order, otherwise people might not understand you.

Vocabulary

Andres Blanco

Para facilitar el aprendizaje del idioma, dejo a su alcance unos libros con los que pueden mejorar su vocabulario. Son diccionarios visuales agrupados por temas. La idea es que previo a cada clase, busquen, estudien y conozcan vocabulario básico. De esta manera ya tendrán una herramienta para trabajar en la clase.

Por ejemplo, si el tema de la siguiente clase es “Food”, puedo buscar en estos libros el vocabulario que esté relacionado con el tema de la comida. Algunos de los post que de las unidades tienen una sección “Material previo para la clase”, que precisamente es un extracto de estos diccionarios visuales para trabajar vocabulario antes de la clase, sin embargo, hay mucho mas, por eso aquí les dejo los links de los libros completos.
