They tell us more about people, places, or things.<\/strong> For example, if you say <span data-no-translation>\u201chouse,\u201d<\/span> an adjective can tell you what kind of house it is, like <span data-no-translation>\u201ca big house\u201d<\/span> o <span data-no-translation>\u201can old house.\u201d<\/span> 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 <span data-no-translation>big<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>small<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>new<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>old<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>beautiful<\/span>, y <span data-no-translation>nice<\/span> 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.<\/div>\n<h2>What Are Adjectives?<\/h2>\n<p>Adjectives are special words.
