hello and welcome to today's English lesson my name is Stuart in today's
lesson we're looking at character adjectives and how we can turn nouns
into this type of adjectives to describe someone's character let's go to the
intro now as I said today's lesson is looking at character adjectives and more
specifically how we turn a noun into an adjective to form this type of character
adjectives and we use this type of adjectives when we want to describe
someone's character so if you're doing an exam for first certificate or
advanced or another English exam and you need to talk about a friend a family
member yourself and you need to describe your character or their character then
some of these words will come in handy and how we can turn as I said that noun
into the adjective okay normally by putting a suffix on to the end of the
sentence and sometimes a prefix so let's have a look now the example that we have
here is adventure and adventurous so adventure being the noun and adventurous
being the adjective now the pronunciation is also important so
adventure adventurous okay adventurous he's an adventurous person so the
example Pete is the most adventurous person I know okay he likes adventure
he's an adventurous person for that reason okay now we've got some more
examples and we have a space so we're going to turn the noun into the
adjective in this space here now I have my blue pen here and that is what we are
going to do so I'll just get my pen ready to write the words into the spaces
so the first one is the noun greed don't be so something
plenty of food what is the adjective that we need to form here with the noun
greed do you know if you are thinking greedy
you are correct so greedy don't be so greedy there's plenty of food this
person obviously likes to eat a lot and when he sees food on the table he goes
for it he is a greedy person okay so the noun
greed and the adjective greedy okay don't be so greedy don't be so greedy
the second one is energy the noun okay energy now we need to turn this noun
into an adjective Sally is very something does she ever
rest does she have a rest Sally because she is very energetic that is right so
energetic she has a lot of energy she's a very energetic person okay
energetic okay the pronunciation energetic now the next one here is
emotion and we can see here the noun emotion Paul is a cold something person
he has few friends so he is what we're looking for
perhaps a negative adjective here Paul is emotion emotion in mo emotionless so
he is a cold emotionless person he has few friends if you can see that there we
could also say unemotional if we wanted to change that and have another option
emotionless or unemotional okay so Paul is a cold emotionless person or Paul is
a cold an emotional person we could say okay fall fall now this is an
interesting one James is one of the most full people I have met one of the most
what one of the most foolish that's it one of the most foolish people I have
met he's a foolish person he's always making a fool of himself he is foolish
okay James is one of the most foolish people that I have met so the noun fool
the adjective foolish the next one help help the noun my son is a very what
young man okay we need to turn this noun into the adjective he's a very help full
person okay he's a very helpful person he's always
helping he's a helpful person okay so my son is a very helpful poet person he's
always helping me around the house he's a helpful person okay so help helpful
the next one is caution the noun caution you need to be more something when you
drive this person is a reckless driver so they need to be more caution caution
cautious good cautious they need to be more cautious when they drive okay so
caution cautious they need to be more cautious when they are driving they are
very reckless they need to take more caution therefore they need to be more
cautious caution cautious the next one demand is the is the noun demand how do
we change this one demand children can be very what if they demand a lot of
things children are very demanding that is right demanding they are very
demanding children they want a lot of things they want a lot from their
parents okay they can be demanding they are demanding so
times children okay and the last one here is knowledge the noun how do we
turn that into an adjective how do we turn knowledge into an adjective SAP is
the most what person I know what is he he's the most what he's the most
knowledgeable he knows the most he's the most knowledgeable person so let's put
this into the space so he's the most knowledgeable person that I know is Sam
okay so greed greedy energy energetic emotion emotionless or
unemotional full foolish help helpful caution cautious demand demanding
knowledge knowledgeable that is how we make character adjectives when we taken
