Adjetives

Fuente:
Freepik.es

Adjectives are useful words because they modify or describe features and qualities of the
people, animals and things around us. So, they are important because they give more
information about the people, animals or things that we talk about.

Important information about adjectives:

Adjective doesn’t vary because of the gender of things or the number of things we
talk about.

We say: “Three black cars.”

We don’t say: “Three blacks cars.”

Adjectives usually before the people, animals or things they describe.

We say: “A white T-shirt.”

We don’t say: “A T-shirt white.”

Since adjectives are important to describe the things we talk about, here you have a list
of common opposite adjectives you can use to make descriptions.

How do we use them?

1. Subject + To Be + Adjective

Example:

Tom is shy.
Alice is happy.

2. Subject + Verb + Adjective + Noun

Example:

That is a big building!

It is a beautiful house.

How do we give invitations in English?

If we want to give someone an invitation, we ask

them if they would like to go somewhere or do
Fuente:
something or have something. To say this, we can Freepik.es
use the formal expression would you like (to) or
the more informal expression do you want (to).
For example:

»» Would you like to go to the cinema tonight?

12
 Moments in Life

»» Erik, would you like some tea?

»» Do you want to go for a coffee?

Another more forceful way to give someone an invitation is to use imperatives. For example:

»» Come with us to the cinema tonight.

»» Join us, we are going to the cinema.

How do we accept or decline an invitation?

Fuente:
Freepik.es

We can accept or decline invitations. To accept invitations, we can respond with yes or
thanks. To decline invitations, we can use the expression No, thanks. For example,

• Daniel, do you want some more soda?

• Thanks, I’m thirsty.

• Would you like to go to cinema tonight?

• No, thanks. I have lots of homework.

Imperative clauses

Fuente:
Freepik.es

What are imperatives clauses?

We use imperative clauses to tell someone to do or not to do something, e.g., advice,

suggestions, requests, commands, orders or instructions. For example:

• Have fun.

• Enjoy your weekend.

• Stop talking

• Don’t forget to study.

How do we form imperative clauses?

We form imperatives clauses with the base form of the verb. Imperatives usually don’t
have a subject; they are addressed to the listener the speaker talks to. For example:

»» We don’t say: We stop talking!

»» We say: Stop talking!

»» We don’t say: To enjoy your weekend.

»» We say: Enjoy your weekend.

We can make negative imperatives. In this case, we use the auxiliary do + not + the base
form of the verb.

»» Don’t forget homework.

»» Don’t eat too much candy.

»» Don’t interrupt the class.

If we want to sound less direct or respectful, we can use the expressions please or if you
wouldn’t mind.

• Stop talking, please.

• If you wouldn’t mind, close the window.
