Let's describe people and their living environment. Start with a character named John Nkwelu, then we now have a complete description of him.

 

John

 

DESCRIPTION.

 

My name is John Nkwelu; I am 42 years old and I come from Nigeria. I came to London in 1997. I love sports and going to the cinema. I am very friendly and hardworking. I am quite tall and handsome (ha, ha). My hair is short, black and very curly. My eyes are dark brown and I like wearing a jacket and tie. Some people say I am very polite but I just try to be kind to everyone. I work in a hotel. In the photograph I am wearing a dark blue tie, a black jacket and a white shirt; I only wear it at work.

 

My life is very easy here in London; I love living in big cities and it is easier to get a job here in a big city than in a small village.

 

Look, all the underlined words in the text are adjectives and this makes us think that to describe something or someone is essential to know the more the merrier.

 

Next, we present two other characters whose personal physical and we will remove the tables we have below.

Comparation

 

In order to speak of compared using the adjectives must begin by knowing the different degrees they may have.

 

The levels of the adjective are three: neutral, comparative and superlative.

 

NEUTRAL. We have the adjective in its natural form, give us a quality of something or someone without comparing it to anything or anyone.

 

COMPARATIVE. Establish comparison between the amount by which the quality appears on a person or thing and another. Naturally the quality may appear a lesser amount in one than in another (comparative of inferiority), in the same amount in both (comparative of equality), at most in one than in another (comparative of superiority).

 

SUPERLATIVO. It is the way to show that someone or something containing the quality represented by the adjective in an amount well above or well below ..., the rest of those with whom you compare.
