DESCRIBING
PEOPLE
In this post we introduce over 40 vocabulary words for describing
people in English, along with 6 sentence frames to use them in. The
first three sentence frames are basic (level A1). The other three are a
little more advanced (level A2-B1). All of the vocabulary is basic
(levels A1 to A2). (If you don't know what A1 and A2 and B1 and B2
mean, learn about
the CEFR
!)
Note: Reading this article in English will be difficult for A1 and A2
students. We will soon translate this article into many different
languages!
Sentence frames are a really useful way to learn how we speak English. A
sentence frame is a sentence with an empty slot that many different words can
go in for many different situations. For example, if you learn the sentence frame
I feel you can make hundreds of different sentences. All you need to do is learn
a new adjective that fits in that slot: I feel hungry. I feel tired. I feel angry. I feel
sick. At a basic level, sentence frames are a great way to learn English!
The first three sentence frames we will look at are simple sentences. One of the
most common ways to describe people is with adjectives: tall, short, fat, skinny,
pretty, handsome, ugly. To use these
common adjectives
in a sentence, try this
