Adjectives (Adjetivos)

Usamos adjetivos para descrever pessoas e coisas: Tangled is an American animated film.  O adjetivo invarivel em ingls. igual no masculino, feminino e plural: An American film two American films A blonde girl two blonde girls O adjetivo coloca-se, quase sempre, antes do nome: The pretty girl in a long dress is called Rapunzel. Pomos o adjetivo depois do verbo to be: Flynn is a thief, but he is nice. O adjetivo tambm vem depois destes verbos: feel, taste, smell, look, seem, sound. Flynn and Rapunzel look happy now.  Quando h dois ou trs adjetivos antes do nome, no usamos geralmente vrgula ou and: Rapunzel has (got) long straight blonde hair.  Quando os adjetivos so do mesmo tipo, por exemplo, todos referidos a cores, usamos and para ligar dois adjetivos. Com trs adjetivos, usamos vrgula depois do primeiro: Rapunzels dress is purple and light pink. Flynn is wearing brown, green and beige clothes. 5
