more in-depth, more detailed
keep it as simple
as possible to start- start basic and then go deeper

the red hat adjective
the nice red
hat adjectives
* SIDE NOTE
opinion, size, age, shape, colour, material, origin,
purpose NOUN

small new round lime-green aluminum Martian flying machine is right there.
TOO MANY ADJECTIVES – PICK 2-3

age, shape, colour, material, origin, purpose NOUN
My grandmother
broke her gorgeous sky-blue English teapot.
Shari loves to
listen to ancient Persian music.
The dog plays with
a big round plastic chew toy.
Yuko collects old
Japanese tea sets.
That is a green
nice sweater. XXX sounds weird
That is a nice green
sweater.
two adjectives in
the same category, separate them with a comma
That is a cute fat
baby.
That is a cute,
beautiful baby. The comma shows that the
adjectives can be switched.
I have a pretty
chubby baby.
individual adjectives
– good for simple ideas
more complicated, subtler,
more in-depth description – use adjective clauses
Three most common
pronouns for adjective clauses: who that which
90% of the time:
who that which
Other less commonly
used pronouns for adjective clauses:
whom, where, whose
– NOT USED OFTEN
whom – rarely used,
very fancy sounding, like a grammar book
Native English
speakers rarely use ‘whom’. We say
‘who’.
MY ADVICE: Forget
about ‘whom’. It is not important. You don’t need it.
One exception about
‘whom’- writing to someone, don’t know who will be receiving the letter
GREETING: To
whom it may concern,
e.g. business
letter, legal letter, reference letter
Not an everyday
occurrence. Pretty rare.
FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY
USAGE: who that which – 95% of the time
who – used
for people, any people, sounds nice, sounds polite and respectful
that- things
that are not alive, animals, RARER-people (sounds a little disrespectful, you
don’t that person)
SUBTLETY IN
ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a person:
The guy that my
sister married is odd. adjective clause
The man who my
other sister married is awesome. adjective clause
‘that’ is a
multiuse word in English
Who is that? Not an
adjective clause, sounds polite
Who is that woman
you were talking to?
That is a beautiful
baby!
Is that your son?
-sounds ok
FOCUS –‘that’ in
adjective clauses
which-
special things (special to you), unique things
This is a watch
that she bought last week. not special
She really likes
the watch which her dad gave her for her 18th birthday. special
witch – a
magical woman
wedding ring –
which
necklace that your
grandmother gave you – which
toothbrush – that
glasses- that
which- unique things-
Great Wall of China, Tokyo, Dehli, the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal
REVIEW:
who- people
that- things, animals
which- special things, unique things
