ACTIVITY 3: DESCRIBING WORKS OF ART (ADJECTIVES)

(Individual or pair work)

You have read a dossier on art and you will have noticed that there are very clear descriptions in it. What kind of words are used for describing works of art? The answer is clear: adjectives. Adjectives are used for describing people, objects, etc.

You are going to carry out some activities related to adjectives, so let’s say something else about them:

▪ Notice while you read the dossier that there are two main positions for adjectives: in front of a noun ( “He had a beautiful smile” )or as the complement of a link verb (“I’m cold”) .

▪ We are going to focus on quality adjectives, that is, those adjectives which express the particular characteristics of someone or something. In our case, quality adjectives express the specific features of works of art.

But how can we identify these adjectives easily? In other words, how are they formed? There are different kinds of adjectives according to the way they are formed. Look:

♣ Some adjectives are not formed form any other word. They are primary words. For example, hot, cold, long, etc.

♣ But most adjectives are formed from other words (nouns, adjectives, verbs or adverbs) by adding suffixes. These suffixes can be very different. But dont worry, you don’t have to learn anything by heart. How do you know the meaniong of an adjective that comes from another word?

It’s easy: think about the meaning of the root word. For example, take the word “hope”. Do you know what it means? If not, look it up in a dictionary. Then, what can “hopeful” mean? Come on, make your hypothesis and ceck with the dictionary.

♣ Have a look at Table 1: go through the dossier and find examples of adjectives formed by adding the suffixes in the table. Then, think of more adjectives you know with the same suffix and write them in the last column.

♣ Now we are going to focus on a group of adjectives which is very common in English: adjectives which finish in “-ing” and “-ed”. Look at the difference in meaning:

-Many adjectives ending in “-ing” describe the effect that something has on someone’s feelings (She always has a warm welcoming smile)

-Some adjectives ending in “-ing” describe a process or state taht continues over a period of time ( Increasing prices are making food very expensive)

-Many adjectives ending in “-ed” describe people’s feelings ( A bored student complained to his teacher)

♣ You will understand it much better if you see more examples, so go to Table 2 and proceed in the same way as you did with Table 1.

♣ Finally, we have a very numerous group of adjectives which are formed by more than one word: compound adjectives. Beware of the fact that they function as adjectives so they have neither gender no number.

As you will see in Table 3, these adjectives can be formed following different patterns. In this exercise, we want you to go through the dossier again and find examples of the patterns in the table and some other patterns, i.e. other combinations of two words functioning as an adjective.
