Hi everybody, my name is Alisha and today we are going to be talking about the top 25
-
English adjectives. So these are the top 25 English adjectives in terms of how often they
-
are used. So let's get right into it.
-
Okay the first adjective is the word ''good''. Good can be used to refer to anything that
-
you think is good or great or positive. In the comparative form, it is better. In the
-
superlative form, it is best. So I think pizza is good. I think that sleep is good. I really
-
think that sleep is good. Baseball is good, playing sports is good, video games are good.
-
The next word is ''new''. Comparative form newer, superlative form newest.
-
I have a new haircut, do you want a new bike, I need to get a new job.
-
So next one is ''first''. First just refers to the number one of something.
-
Yeah the original of something. You could say the first silent film or the first movie
-
I ever watched or the first CD I ever bought. The first CD I ever bought was Michael Jackson's
-
band.
-
Next word is ''last''. The final of something. We use last to refer
-
to the most recent of something as well as in the last time I went to the beach or the
-
last time I went to the forest or the last time I saw my friend. Have you ever eaten
-
the last piece of pizza when you weren't supposed to? What was the last word we talked about.
-
It was first.
-
The next word is ''long''. Long, anything that you feel is
-
lightsabers are long, subway sandwiches are long.
-
I am sorry!
-
I'm not supposed to laugh for long.
-
The next word is ''great''. Great can be used to express any positive
-
emotion. Somebody gives you new information and you think it's good but you want to express
-
that it's even better than good, you can say it's great. Greater is the comparative form,
-
greatest is the superlative form. The greatest invention of all time was a light bulb for
-
example. What do you think is your greatest achievement?
-
One of life's greatest pleasures is finding people to be good friends with. It's great.
-
The next word is ''little''. This is a very common word that gets used
-
in an expression like when I was little for referring to when you were a kid. So when
-
I was little, I really like to play outside or when I was little, I was really into Pokémon.
-
I have said very little about the very little.
-
The next word is ''near''. Near, nearer, nearest. You probably know the
-
location of the nearest maybe a supermarket to your house and the nearest post office.
-
I live near a very fashionable store.
-
The next word is ''big''. Big is used for anything that is large in
-
size or large conceptually. So for example, you can say an elephant is a big animal or
-
in terms of concept, you can say let's see, that fashion is really big right now or that
-
artist is really big right now and that refers to popularity. Big movies are exciting to
-
watch with friends. Do you have any bigger sandwiches? I am really hungry.
-
Next word is ''other''. Other just refers to something else, something different from
-
what is currently happening, the other thing, the other person. My other friend is a DJ,
-
my other friend is a cook, my other friend is a dancer, my other friend - I have really
-
interesting friends. What other things have you done with your life?
-
The next word is ''old'', old. It can be used to refer to people, it can
-
be used to refer to animals, to art. Anything that has a long history. So maybe I like old
-
movies or I don't like old art or I think my grandpa is really, really old. He has been
-
getting old.
-
The next word is ''right''. This can be used to refer to the direction,
-
right as in the opposite of left or it can be used to refer to something that is correct.
-
So in a sentence like you are right, it means you are correct. That is the correct answer.
-
It can also be used to mean right as in make a right turn but you will have to listen to
-
the context to decide which meaning is the true meaning. This is not right, it could
-
mean something that's not fair or that you disagree strongly with. This is not right.
-
The next word is ''high''. High refers to something that is very tall,
-
very - way up somewhere. So many people might say like I have a fear of high buildings or
-
I have a fear of high places. It can also in the comparative form just refer to something
-
higher or taller than something else. Highest meaning the most high. I like high volume
-
music.
-
The next word is ''different''. not the same as something else is different.
-
I think that having many different friends is a lot of fun. Do you enjoy listening to
-
different kinds of music?
-
The next word is ''small''. Small, smaller and smallest. Small and little
-
are extremely similar. I would pretty much use them in the same way, however we don't
-
say when I was a small kid, we say when I was a little kid or you can say when I was
-
small.
-
The next word is ''large''. Large and big are very much the same. I will
-
say though that large is used on clothing sizes. Big is not and when we talked about
-
big, we talked about how big can be used to refer to something that's very popular. Large
-
is not used to refer to something that's popular. Large is used for sizing I feel only. So like
-
a house can be large but it's used to refer to like the physical size of something. Large
-
and in charge. large, larger, largest. This is the largest hippopotamus in the zoo.
-
The next word is ''easy''. Easy is the next word. Easy, easier, easiest.
-
Now this is a good one that you can use any time something seems very simple for you.
-
For example, this test is easy or that was the easiest thing I've ever done or I hope
-
this test is easier than the last test. Don't call person easy Alisha. Don't ever call a
-
person easy unless you are trying to be really rude. My driving test was really easy or what's
-
the easiest language you've ever studied and
-
The next word is ''difficult''. Difficult is something that seems hard to
-
do. What is the most difficult thing you've ever had to do? The most difficult thing I've
-
ever had to do was move to a different country.
-
The next word is ''young''. young, younger, youngest. Come on guys. Younger,
-
younger generations have a lot of new technologies to experiment with. Young -
-
The next word is ''important''. Important, more important, most important.
-
What is important to you? I think that practicing another language is more important than playing
-
a banjo. I don't have a banjo. You can find something that's important to you and
-
put your time into it. I think drinking a lot of water every day is important, putting
-
on your shoes before you leave the house is very important. I have to go, it's very important
-
that I go.
-
Next word is ''interesting'', interesting. Anything that you think is cool, anything
-
that you find that makes you go ooh is something that's interesting. I think that this type
-
of music is the most interesting type of music. Your mom is interesting.
-
The next word is ''short''. shorter, shortest. I am the shortest person
-
in my class. I am the shortest person in the room. Short just refers to something that
-
is not long. So it can refer to a size or it can also refer to a concept as in a length
-
of time. So like I am going to travel abroad for a short period of time.
-
Bad. You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it.
-
Bad, something that is not good. Bad food will give you bad
-
feelings in your stomach. You are a bad dog. Who is a bad dog? You are a bad dog.
-
The next one is ''boring''. Something that is not interesting, something
-
that does not make you go ooh but something that makes you go hah! The most boring story
-
I've ever heard was a story about a tomato. If I don't do anything, this will be really
-
boring.
-
''Far'', referring to distance. Something that is not near to you is far.
-
How can I go farther? Far, the farthest I've ever run is 7 kilometers. I am not a runner.
-
Okay that's the end of the top 25 English adjectives. You would probably use these if
-
you are studying English and if you haven't, try to experiment with them and see what kind
-
of interesting sentences that you can make up. Try to use the normal form and the comparative
-
form and the negative form and the superlative form. You can express a lot with just these
-
25 words. So give them a try. Thanks very much for watching us in this lesson and we
