VOCABULARIO ÚTIL PARA DESCRIPCIONES
PRIMERO DE TODO: orden que deben llevar los adjetivos cuando usas más de uno para describir algo (no solamente una persona, puede ser cualquier cosa). La manera en que yo aprendí esta regla era con la palabra OSASCOMP, que significa:
Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Colour, Origin, Material, Purpose
Opinión,tamaño,edad,forma,color,origen,material,utilidad
Por ejemplo, dirías:
She’s got straight, Brown hair.
An ugly, old man (ugly = opinion; old = age)
A tall, dark stranger (tall = size; dark = colour)
A small, Russian, wooden tennis racquet (small = size; Russian = origin, wooden = material; tennis [in this case the word functions as an adjective] = purpose)
