Hello! Very often, when we are asked to describe ourselves or another person in English, we limit ourselves to a verbal depiction of appearance. Meanwhile, a person is a versatile personality, with his own character traits and other characterizing features. Without using these words, you cannot tell anything about a person as an individual. Describing a person in English

In the vast majority of cases, in order to talk about a person, we use characterizing adjectives. In this article, I tried to collect the most popular adjectives that can be used to describe a man or girl as an individual. For this purpose, you can use words that are part of the following categories:

1. Character Traits:

• Personality traits
• Mental abilities
• Strong-willed qualities
• Attitude towards other people, towards property, towards work

Let's look at all these categories separately.
Dictionary for describing appearance in English Adjectives characterizing a person in English

When talking about appearance, we describe height, age, voice, clothing. For example, growth can be high ( tall), short ( short) or average ( medium), and age is elderly or old ( old), middle aged ( middle-aged) and young ( young). Speaking about the voice, you can indicate that it is hoarse (cracked), voiced ( crisp) or melodic ( tuneful).

A smile can be charming ( engaging), charming ( charming) and sincere ( sincere) or vice versa, cunning ( cunning), played out ( forced) and insincere ( artificial). You also need to express own opinion about what a person looks like using the following adjectives:

• winsome - attractive
• agreeable - pleasant
• stylish - fashionable
• dapper - neat (only about men),
• lovely-looking - delightful
• awkward - clumsy
• untidy-looking - sloppy

Adjectives about character traits

Describing a personality in English involves talking about character traits, habits and preferences. Sides of character can be both positive (intelligent, optimistic, extroverted) and negative (stupid, pessimistic, introverted). And sometimes the same feature, depending on intonation and context, can be both positive and negative (determined, thrifty, obstinate).

When characterizing an individual, do not forget to clarify why you call him that. For example, when you say that a girl is hardworking, explain why you think so:

Any is very hard-working. It can work all day without any break at all. I really admire the way it studies and works. (Annie is a very hard worker. She can work all day without a break. I actually admire the way she studies and works).

Table of characterizing adjectives

The criteria that make up a person’s character are also varied. For ease of memorization and pronunciation, I have placed them in a compact table with translation and transcription. This will make it easier for you to navigate the criteria and remember the characterizing adjectives.

Our speech would be extremely sparse if we did not use bright colors and means of expression in it. And perhaps the most popular way is to use adjectives. Adjectives in English They allow you to express the characteristics of inanimate nouns and the qualities of animate ones, describe a person’s appearance and the properties of his character, embellish any actions and events, compare two objects or persons, and much more. Today we will find out what properties these parts of speech have, consider their grammatical norms, get acquainted with the types, and learn a list of definitions often used in speech.

Let's start with what even a child knows: this part of speech indicates either the belonging of an object or its properties, that is, it is the answer to the question of which, which, whose. Unlike their Russian counterparts, adjectives in English behave much more modestly and almost never change, i.e. do not receive additional endings when changing number, case, gender; do not have short forms.

• Ihavea red jacket- I have a red jacket.
• Weliveinthis red house- We live in this red house.

They can play one of two syntactic roles in a sentence. Words acting as evaluative definitions stand immediately before the object they define, and expressions included in the compound predicate complete the phrase.

• My father bought a blue car -Myfatherboughtbluecar.(definition)
• Thecar is beautiful - This car is beautiful.(compound nominal predicate)

In terms of its composition, this part of speech is divided into simple (monosyllabic) and long words (polysyllabic) containing two or more syllables. The latter are called derivatives, according to the method of their formation: the addition of suffixes or prefixes. Negative forms of positive definitions are often obtained in this way. Separately, it is worth highlighting complex adjectives in English, formed by merging two simple basics. As a rule, such compound definitions are written with a hyphen.

• Shecookedabigcake- She prepared a big pie.(simple)
• Myparentsgavemeusefuladvice– My parents gave me useful advice.(derivative)
• There was a well-preserved cupboard in that flat –INthatapartmentwasFinepreservedcloset.(complex)

The method of forming comparative and superlative degrees depends on this classification. This is the only transformation possible for an adjective, in which the ending of the word changes. U simple definitions in English the endings –er, -est are added. In more complex forms you need to use the words more and most.

• brave boy⟶ braver boy ⟶ the bravest boy —brave boy⟶ the boy is braver⟶ the bravest boy
• practical thing ⟶ more practical thing ⟶ most practical thing -practical thing ⟶ the thing is more practical ⟶ the most practical thing

There are also so-called irregular words that raise powers not according to general rules. They are listed separately.

These basic points will be sufficient when using adjectives in simple phrases and expressions. Next we will study the most popular english words this category and examples of their translation.

Popular adjectives in English

It is impossible to learn all possible ways of expressing characteristics and qualities in one sitting. Therefore, we suggest starting with the basics and considering small list English adjectives that are used in almost every conversation. These expressions will also be useful when conducting a lesson on foreign language for children, since they are the basis of knowledge and do not pose any difficulty in learning. The table contains hundreds of descriptive definitions, distributed into general categories and recorded with transcription * and translation into Russian.

Of course, these are not all common adjectives in the English language. , but this is already a pretty solid basis for a basic vocabulary. Don't try to memorize long lists words: this way you will only confuse yourself or learn rarely encountered forms of expressions.

If the information provided is not new to you, or you have already mastered this part of the material well, we invite you to study the adjectives that stand out in the English language for their particular specific use.

Difficult grammatical points

To simplify perception and the possibility of studying the topic with a child, in the first section we omitted many important points that beginners do not need to know yet. But, for the owners Intermediate level, this information will be extremely important and useful. Now we will get acquainted with a new type of definitions, find out what a graduated adjective is and how it behaves, and also consider the nuances of the transition of words from one part of speech to another.

Possessive aspect

When we studied the popular adjectives and antonyms in English used to describe people and things, they were mostly of the qualitative adjective variety. There are also relative ones, but we will talk about them a little later. Now we are interested in a more interesting form - possessive adjectives in English.

There are a lot of similar words in Russian speech: fox, wolf, Lysin, mother, shepherd etc. But the British can use only seven such definitions: my,your, his, her, its, our, their. They are often confused with pronouns, violating the norms of lexical combination. Let's try to figure out why these words belong specifically to this section of grammar.

As already noted, the job of adjectives is to determine the properties, characteristics and belonging of the specified objects. Possessiveness is the main category that expresses the connection between an object and a subject. The relation to the class of adjectives is also indicated by the syntactic function of such expressions - definition, i.e. they always appear in a sentence immediately before a noun (or adj+noun group). But the role played by possessive pronouns in English is completely different. They are intended to replace the expressed noun. As a rule, such pronouns are always used at the end of a phrase or at the very beginning. Let's look at examples.

• Usually,Ibring my guitarandwesing our favoritesongs– Usually, I bring my guitar and we sing our favorite songs.(whose guitar? - mine, whose songs? - ours; possessive adj.)
• My smartphone is better than yours – Mysmartphonebetter,howyour.(whose smartphone? – mine (adj.); what’s yours? implied smartphone (personal location)
• It is not him watch. His he left at home-ThisNothiswatch.He left his watch at home.(whose watch? – his (adj.); what’s your own? watch (local)

Pronouns, with the exception of his, have a different form from adjectives, so they are easy to distinguish in the text. And for independent use, you need to remember the above differences and work them out in practice.

Degrees of comparison and amplification (medium level)

When we looked at the types of adjectives in English, we noted that they depend on the formation of comparative degrees. But was not mentioned important point: not all representatives of this class speech is able to form degrees. This justifies the division of types into qualitative and relative adjectives.

Qualities are expressed in varying degrees, but relativity has only a dictionary form. This category includes signs of origin, material, designation of time, field of activity and geographical location. Such meanings in themselves have strong positions and do not need exaggeration.

• I bought a wooden chairIboughtwoodenchair.(cannot be more/less or the most wooden)
• It was an American train -ThiswasAmericantrain.
• Shewritesa weekly report– She writes a weekly report

The English language allows you to strengthen the characteristic in one more way - by adding an adverb. And here we are again faced with a special factor: not all adverbs can coexist with definitions. So, for example, the popular very, rather, hugely, a bit can only be combined with gradable adjectives, i.e. weak definitions ( most often qualitative adjectives). Often these combinations are synonymous with more expressive words. In this case, amplification is used with both negative and positive characteristics.

• verytasty= delicious; very tasty - delicious;
• abitdirty – filthy; a little dirty - dirty;
• veryunusual – extraordinary; very unusual - most incredible;

Such an adjective, denoting an extreme degree of properties, in turn can only be used with weak adverbs. Thus, combinations of adverbs with definitions always occur according to the principle of merging opposites.

This rule must be remembered in order to avoid making gross speech errors.

Substantivization

English adjectives are characterized by such a phenomenon as substantivization. Through this process, definitions are given functions and meanings specific to the noun. The most vivid examples such transformations are the names of languages ​​and nationalities.

• Her German is perfect –Her German is perfect.
• Yesterday I made friends with two Russians – YesterdayImade friendsWithtwoRussians.

As the examples show, substantivized adjectives play the role of subject or object in a sentence, and denote persons and objects. Moreover, they can be presented in both singular and plural.

• abstractness: good – good; mysterious – mysterious; useful – useful; unreal – unreal;
• generality: greens – greens; valuables – values; chemicals – chemicals;
• social groups: young – youth; rich - rich people; elderly – elderly; poor - poor people;
• social characteristics: liberals – liberals; mariners – sailors; theunemployed – unemployed;

A more detailed list of such words can be found in a separate section.

English adjectives for intermediate level

Let's look at more complex English adjectives with Russian translation.

Sometimes in a conversation there is a need to describe someone we know or, on the contrary, a person completely unfamiliar to us. Moreover, we can talk not only about appearance, but also about personal qualities, with which the speaker is dissatisfied or delighted. In Russian, we can use participles, adjectives and stable speech patterns for these purposes. In foreign speech, all these means are also present, but most often, adjectives in English that characterize a person help us reveal the image of the character under discussion in all its details. Today we will look at a large volume of new words that allow us to colorfully and fully describe the qualities and appearance of any individual.

Adjectives describing appearance

A person's appearance consists of various factors. She is treated as relatively constant signs: eye and hair color, voice timbre, height, age, physique, facial features, etc.; and frequently changing properties: style of clothing and shoes, possible jewelry, accessories. The variety of adjectives allows you to convey both the general impression of people’s appearance and clearly differentiate each feature. The table below provides a list of various definitions that describe appearance person in a neutral, positive and negative way.

Description of appearance
Positive traits	Neutral facts	Negative coloring
Beauty and attractiveness: attractive - attractive; cute - adorable; beautiful/handsome – beautiful/handsome; fit – excellent, ideal body shape;	Hair: bald – bald; curly - curly; blonde - blond; redhead - red; shoulder-length – long to the shoulders; wavy - curly.	scruffy - sloppy; fat – too thick, greasy; flabby – saggy, flabby; awkward - clumsy; repulsive - repulsive, disgusting; ugly - ugly;

	State: pale – pale; suntanned - tanned;

Of course, it is impossible to convey in one table all the English adjectives that characterize a person’s appearance or describe various nouns. But we tried to provide the most diverse and frequently used examples in speech for initial study. Next, we will consider what lexical means can be used to characterize the behavior, principles and views of an individual.

Adjectives in English that characterize a person as a person

All people tend to have a natural sensitivity and reaction to actions, which gradually turns into an individual manner of behavior, simultaneously developing special look on life and its values. The complex of these actions shapes a person’s character and precedes the formation of a full-fledged personality. According to the scale of the phenomenon, in various languages ​​there is such huge amount words and expressions about the qualities of people that it is simply not comparable with similar vocabulary used to refer to appearance.

For this category, we have also compiled a table in which adjectives in English characterizing human qualities are presented with translation. As mentioned earlier, there are about several thousand such lexical units, and, naturally, you cannot rewrite all of them, much less memorize them. We have selected almost a hundred English definitions that characterize an individual with a positive or negative side. For convenience, the words are summarized into small thematic groups. Let's look at them.

We learned adjectives to describe various properties and qualities of people, and are now able to create a description of the character of any person in English. Let's continue to improve our English in the next classes!

Hello! We have already learned verbs in English and studied tables of English pronouns. It's time to relax a little and study adjectives in English. These words are very important for a living and rich English speech, so if you want to become a full member of the English-speaking society, then you just need to know at least the basic adjectives.

English adjectives The adjective is the main part of speech that denotes a sign of a phenomenon, person or object - green room, warm rain, good friend ( good friend). Answers the question (which ones? which one? which one?). As you can see from the question, unlike the Russian language, adjectives in English do not change according to gender, number and cases, do not form short forms, making them much easier to learn.

A number of English adjectives in their form, that is, in their spelling, are no different from adverbs. To distinguish them, it is necessary to remember that adverbs define an adjective, a verb or another adverb - well (good), little (little), late (late), and adjectives - noun - well (good), little (small), late (late).

According to their meaning, adjectives in English are divided into:

• Relative- cannot be combined with an adverb very (Very) and do not form degrees of comparison. There are much fewer of them, they convey such signs of a phenomenon, person or object that cannot be present in them to a lesser or greater extent. For example: the scene is central (central), material - g lass (glass) etc.
• Quality- a larger group. They denote characteristics that may be inherent in a person, object or phenomenon to a lesser or greater extent, therefore qualitative adjectives form three degrees of comparison: excellent, comparative and positive. For example, soft - soft(positive) - softer - softer(comparative) - softest - the softest(excellent). From qualitative ones the corresponding abstract nouns are formed - darkness (darkness), cold (cold).

Like Russian, English has adjectives:

• Simple- in them, except for the root, there is no suffix and prefix: little (small), black (black), short (short)
• Derivatives- in these words both the root, the prefix and the suffix are highlighted: unkind (unkind), beautiful (beautiful), untrue (wrong)
• Composite (complex)- consist of several stems, most often separated by a hyphen: snow-white (snow-white), high-bred (well-mannered), red-hot (hot).

It is necessary to distinguish between English adjectives that end in “ -ing" And " -ed" You need to know this so as not to confuse them with past verbs, gerunds and participles. In this case, you need to be guided by their role and place in the sentence. In a word on "-ing" usually describe the impression of an object, phenomenon or person, and in words "-ed"- the state of the person himself.

The role of adjectives in a sentence

The Adjective refers to a pronoun or, most often, a noun. In a sentence it can perform the following functions:

1. Definitions(Attributive adjectives) - He wears black shoes (He wears black shoes), comes before a noun. If there are index fingers, possessive pronouns and the article, the adjective is placed between the determiner of the noun and the noun itself: Moscow is a beautiful city (Moscow is a beautiful city). If the Adjective is preceded by an adverb of degree, which enhances its meaning, then the defined noun is omitted, but the meaning is implied: I thought shi very clever (woman) - I thought she was very smart (woman).

In the case when a noun is determined by several adjectives at once, then those Adjectives that reflect the state of things are located closer, and then words that express an opinion: It was a nice sunny day - It was a nice sunny day. The fact that it is a sunny day is a fact, a state, but the fact that it is glorious is a subjective opinion.

Study Table No. 2 to find out the rules for the placement of adjectives characterizing a noun:

Epithet, quality:		good
		big
		round
		old
		brown
Origin:		Spanish
Substance, material:		wooden
A word that forms a single semantic group with a noun:		dining
Noun:		table

Attributive adjectives are placed after the noun if:

• An adjective modifies an indefinite pronoun: There is nothing wrong
• The adjective itself has a dependent word in the comparative construction: They have a court yard larger than yours (They have a larger yard than yours)
• The definition is expressed by the words present (present), absent (absent) and some other words: Absent will not be in a rate

2. Compound nominal predicate (predicative) — His shoes are red (His shoes are red), comes after the linking verb - to be (is, am, are, was...): Moscow is beautiful (Moscow is beautiful (beautiful). A number of other verbs can be used in the same capacity: to get, to turn, to become, to look, to seem - Shi is getting old (She is getting old).

Adjectives such as well ( good health) and ill (sick), as well as words starting with “a” - awake (awake), asleep (sleeping), afraid (scared), alive (alive) and others are used exclusively as a predicate and they do not have degrees of comparison: Hi is ill again (He is sick again).

Adjectives for everyday communication

Adjectives that denote shapes, tastes, sizes, colors and qualities are very important, since they are most often used in everyday everyday communication.
