Adjectives

Emma is bored because her job is boring.
Emma's job is boring, so Emma is bored.

Tom always talks about the same things. He's really boring.

Many adjectives end in -ing and -ed. Somebody is bored if something(or somebody else) is boring. Or, if something is boring, it makes you bored. If a person is boring, this means that they make other people bored.



My job is boring / interesting / tiring / satisfying / depressing. (etc.)


the -ing adjective tells you about the job.


I'm bored with my job.   /   I'm not interested in my job any more.   /   I get very tired doing my job.   /   
I'm not satisfied with my job.   /   My job makes me depressed. (etc.)


the - ed adjective tells you how somebody feels (about the job).



interesting : Did you meet anyone interesting at the party?
interested : Are you interested in buying a car? I'm trying to sell mine.

surprising : It was surprising that he passed the exam.
surprised : Everybody was surprised that he passed the exam.

disappointing : The movie was disappointing. We expected it to be much better.
disappointed : We were disappointed with the movie. We exepcted it to be much better.

shocking : The news was shocking.
shocked : I was shocked when I heard the news.

My brother lives in a nice new house.

In the kitchen there was a beautiful large round wooden table.

Sometimes we use two or more adjectives together. Adjectives like new / large / round / wooden are fact adjectives. They give us factural information about age, size, colour etc. Adjectives like nice / beautiful are opinion adjectives. They tell us what somebody thinks of something or somebody. Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives.

a nice long summer holiday / an interesing young man / a delicious hot vegetable soup



Sometimes we use two or more fact adjectives together. Usually (but not always) we put fact adjectives in this order.
1. how big?  →   2. how old?  →   3. what colour?  →   4. where from?  →   5. what is it made of?

big blue eyes(1→3) / a small black plastic bag(1→3→5) / an old Russian song(2→4) / an old white cotton shirt(2→3→5)

Adjectives of size and length (big / small / tall / short / long etc.) usually go before adjectives of shape and width (round / fat / thin / slim / wide etc.).
a tall thin girl / a long narrow street

When there are two or more colour adjectives, we use and.
a black and white dress / a red, white and green flag



We use adjectives after be / get/ become / seem.
Be careful!
I'm tired and I'm getting hungry.
As the film went on, it became more and more boring.

We also use adjectives to say how somebody/something looks, feels, sounds, tastes or smells.
You look tired. I feel tired. She sounds tired.
The dinner smells good.
This tea tastes a bit strange.

But to say how somebody does something you must use an adverb.
Drive carefully!
Tom plays the piano very well.



We say 'the first two days / the next few weeks / the last ten minutes' etc.
I didn't enjoy the first two days of the course.
They'll be away for the next few weeks.
