Recordemos que Un adjetivo es la palabra que la da cualidad
o característica a una cosa o personas, y que la utilización
de los adejtivos en español es muy diferente al inglés.
Por ejemplo: Yo compré un carro bonito – esta es una casa
grande.
Noten que los adjetivos van al final de la oración ósea después de
el objeto a describir.

Ahora en Inglés : I bought a beautiful car – This is a big house

Noten que los adjetivos van antes del objeto a describir.

Veamos otros ejemplos:

 I have a small black suitcase.
tengo una maleta negra pequeña
They have some old French paintings.
Ellos tienen algunas pinturas francesas antiguas

That is a really ugly wooden chair.

Esa es una silla de madera fea
.
 Ahora, para hacer descripciones en Inglés utilizando los
Adjetivos debemos seguir una tabla para su correcto uso:

Por supuesto no se hace necesario utilizarlos todos al momento de hacer una descripción pero es importante que
siempre sigan esa tabla para que hagan una correcta utilización de ellos
Para hacer descripciones de personas o cosas se debe tener en
cuenta también que utilizamos el verbo to be y el verbo have o
has.
Ejemplo:
She is a beautiful girl - She has nice round lips.

We are intelligent students - We have big hands.

Utilizamos el verbo to be cuando la cualidad que queremos

describir tiene que ver con el ser
Y utilizamos have o has si es algo que la persona tiene o le
pertenece.
