Okay, so in this particular lesson, it's not actually going to be too advanced.
I'm actually using some quite ordinary adjectives.
And these adjectives all appear in the top 50 simple adjectives in the English language.
But the important thing is I'm going to show you how to put them into small phrases and expressions that will help you so you don't get stuck, you're not lost for words and you'll be able to understand when other people use them and perhaps help you to use them yourself.
Okay, let's go.
So first, one big.
So as I said, they're simple adjectives.
Big.
So we can have a big decision or we can make a big decision.
Oh, it's a big decision to leave your job.
Now when we're about to go into a recession, somebody can be a big eater, a big drinker or a big spender.
But if you're a big eater, it means you eat a lot at every meal.
A big drinker is not a good thing to be.
Oh, he's a really big drinker.
I mean, he goes out Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
