Vocabulary! Agora que já você já viu alguns tempos verbais e já aprendeu muitas palavras através dos exercícios e do blog, aprenda os adjectives. É importante saber que os adjectives em Inglês NÃO possuem forma no plural, ou seja, são usados SEMPRE no singular e que eles SEMPRE aparecem antes do substantivo (noun). Veja:
She is a beautiful girl.
I have a yellow T-shirt.
My sister bought a beautiful blue car.
I have a yellow T-shirt.
My sister bought a beautiful blue car.
Aprenda alguns adjectives divididos em grupos. Para ver a tradução da palavra basta passar o mouse em cima dela. Os adjectives podem ser usados tanto para o masculino quanto para o feminino, salvo raras exceções.

Grammar! Order of Adjectives
É importante saber que quando temos mais de um adjective descrevendo um noun, precisamos usar uma ordem. Eu sempre digo aos meus alunos para memorizarem a expressão – OSASCO MP -, onde: O = Opinion, S = Size, A = Age, S = Shape, C = Color, O = Origin, M = Material e P = Purpose. Dessa forma fica mais fácil lembrar qual ordem ser seguida. Veja:
a beautiful large old rectangular blue American leather sleeping bag
(article + opinion + size + age + shape + color + origin + material + purpose + noun)
É claro que nem sempre usamos tantos adjectives para descrever um noun, mas é sempre bom saber a ordem correta para que tudo fique em perfeita harmonia. O article (a, an) deve ser usado caso o noun seja singular (lembre-se que a é usado antes de palavras que começam com sons consonantais e an antes de palavras que começam com sons vocálicos).
Fiquei nervoso. = I got angry.
Fiquei chateado. = I got bored.
Fiquei deprimido. = I got depressed.
Lembre-se que got é passado de get.
Mary is a beautiful girl. She is intelligent, nice, easy-going and romantic. She is seventeen years old. She is white, tall and thin. She has green eyes and long blond straight hair.
Note que para descrever os cabelos da Mary eu usei: length (comprimento) + color + style (estilo).
Length: long, shoulder-length, short, shaved
Style: straight, curly, wavy, spiky, frizzy
As colors para hair e eyes são as convencionais, entretanto temos algumas outras colors:
mel = hazel
loiro(a) = blond
ruiva (o) = red
grisalho = gray
Com a tecnologia capilar muitas pessoas alteram suas madeixas. Veja abaixo alguns processos:
alisamento / chapinha / progressiva: hair straightening
luzes: highlights
moicano: mohican / mohawk
topete: pompadour / forelock
rabo de cavalo: ponytail
franja: fringe / bangs
trança: braid
cabelo tingido: dyed hair
permanente: perm
relaxamento: hair relaxing
queda de cabelo: hair loss
peruca: wig
luzes: highlights
moicano: mohican / mohawk
topete: pompadour / forelock
rabo de cavalo: ponytail
franja: fringe / bangs
trança: braid
cabelo tingido: dyed hair
permanente: perm
relaxamento: hair relaxing
queda de cabelo: hair loss
peruca: wig
Quanto a cor da pele temos white e black, com variações. Nunca chame um afro descendente de negro /nigrou/ pois é uma palavra considerada vulgar na língua Inglesa, use black.
Numbers podem ser usados como adjectives também, neste caso eles serão sempre escritos com hífens juntando-se a palavras como year, century, decade sempre usadas no singular, pois adjectives no Inglês não possuem forma no plural. Veja:
She is an eighteen-year-old girl.
This is an eighteenth-century sofa.
Mary is a thirty-nine-year-old woman.
