1 What are things like?

Adjectives are ‘describing words’. One way to think of them is as the kind of word you use when someone asks:

• What’s your new boss like?
• What’s your home town like?
• What’s their new house like?

Here are some suggestions:

• intelligent, demanding, grumpy, inspiring …
• busy, exciting, peaceful, polluted …
• huge, old-fashioned, fancy, small …
