Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They tell us more about people, places, or things. Wenn du zum Beispiel sagst: “house,” an adjective can tell you what kind of house it is, like “a big house” oder “an old house.” In English, adjectives usually come *before* the noun they describe. This is different from some other languages, like Spanish, where adjectives often come after the noun. Learning common adjectives like big, small, new, old, beautiful, und nice will help you talk about your home, your city, and other places clearly and easily. These words are fundamental for A1 English learners to build basic descriptions.

Wie verwenden wir Adjektive im Englischen?

In English, adjectives usually go before the noun they describe. This is a very important rule.

  • We say “a big house,” nicht “a house big.”
  • We say “a beautiful flat,” nicht “a flat beautiful.”

Here are some useful adjectives to describe homes, cities, and other places:

  • Big: This means large in size. My flat is big.
  • Small: This means not large in size. It is the opposite of big. His house is small.
  • New: This means recently made or bought. It is not old. It's a new building.
  • Old: This means not new; it has existed for a long time. It is the opposite of new. This is an old town.
  • Beautiful: This means very pleasing to the senses or mind. What a beautiful park!
  • Nice: This means pleasant, agreeable, or good. It's a nice day today.

Can I Use More Than One Adjective?

Häufige Fehler bei Spanischsprechern

Adjective Placement

A common mistake for Spanish speakers is putting the adjective after the noun. Remember, in English, the adjective comes vor das Substantiv.

  • Falsch: a house small
  • Richtig: a small house
  • Falsch: a flat beautiful
  • Richtig: a beautiful flat

Adjective Agreement

In Spanish, adjectives change to match the noun's gender and number. In English, adjectives never change.

  • Falsch: bigs houses (for plural) or bige house (for gender)
  • Richtig: big houses
  • Richtig: a big house
