Lesson 3: Describe clothes

Describir ropa

1.- Vocabulary:
Old________Viejo
New________Nuevo
Dirty________Sucio
Clean________Limpio
Loose________Holgado/Grande
Tight________Apretado/Chico
Cheap________Barato
Expensive________Caro
Long ________Largo
Short________Corto

2.-Grammar: Adjective position

En inglés primero viene el adjetivo, ‘como es..’ y luego viene el objeto del
que estamos hablando (sustantivo) : The red dress
En español es lo opuesto El vestido rojo.

Adjectives come before the nouns they describe

*Adjective: Algo que describe ‘’Verde, caro, largo, feliz, lindo...’’


*Noun: Algo que puede ser descrito‘’Persona, animal, cosa o lugar’’

A long skirt.

The exception is when we use the verb ‘to be’ after the
noun

THE RED DRESS. El vestido rojo


THE DRESS IS RED. El vestido es rojo.

This exception works only with: be, become, get, seem, look, feel, sound,
smell, y taste.

Examples:

The suit is expensive


It’s an expensive suit

The women are good looking


They are good looking women.

Note: Adjectives don’t change:


The shoes are red. ✓ They are red shoes ✓
The shoes are reds. X They are reds shoes. X
The pants are clean. ✓ They are clean pants ✓
The pants are cleans X They are cleans pants X

4.- Questions with What, Why and Which one

Simple questions (also known as ‘’Yes or No Questions’’, are questions


that only need a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’ as an answer.
There we learned to use Do or Does at the start of the question.
Does she like red shoes? Yes, she does.
Do we need an orange suit? No, we don’t

Now we are going to see questions to obtain information.


‘’Information questions’’ - ‘’Wh- Questions’’
Answers will not be: Yes or No.

Example, Yes or no Question:

-Do you want that skirt?


-Yes, I do.

-Does your friend need a new suit?


-Yes, he does. He needs a new one.

As you can see, we start with Do or Does, now we’re going to start the
questions with What…?, Why…? and Which one…?.
Como pueden ver, se empieza con el Do o el Does, ahora vamos a empezar las
preguntas con ¿Que?, ¿Por que? Y ¿Cual?

For that, we will follow this formula:

WH-Q + Do/Does + Subject + base form of the Verb ///


+ Complement
What do you want? ¿Que quieres?
Why do you have my shoes?¿Por qué tienes mis zapatos?
Which one do you like?¿Cual te gusta?
What does your mother need?¿Que necesita tu madre?
Why does she like that dress?¿Por que le gusta ese vestido?
Which sweater does my sister want?¿Cual suéter quiere mi hermana?
Which color do they need? ¿Que color necesitan?
What does he have? ¿Que tiene? // ¿Qué es lo que él tiene?
What do we have? ¿Que tenemos?

Nota 3rd person:


It’s ‘’What does he have?.’’ Don’t get confused and put: What does he has?.
