English

We use special words to talk about what people look like (appearance) and what they are like inside (character).

Appearance → tall, short, thin, fat, young, old, beautiful, handsome, with blue eyes, with long hair.
Character → kind, friendly, nice, lazy, polite, happy, shy.

Grammar pattern:
• He is tall.
• She has long hair.
• They are friendly.

When we describe a person, we talk about their appearance (what we see) and personality (how they behave).

We can use be and have got:
• He is tall and strong.
• She has got short blonde hair.

To describe character, we use adjectives: polite, cheerful, serious, helpful, shy, clever.
We can join adjectives with “and” or commas:
• She is kind and intelligent.
• He is tall, slim, and quiet.

When describing a person, we combine physical features (height, build, face, hair, eyes, clothes) with character traits (personality, habits, attitude).

Grammar tips:
• Use be for general qualities (She is generous and calm.).
• Use have/has got for features (He has got short hair.).
• Use present simple for behaviour (He often helps others.).
• Use adverbs of degree to make your description richer: very, quite, rather, a bit, extremely.

Examples:
• She is quite tall and very elegant.
• He has got short fair hair and blue eyes.
• She is always cheerful and never rude.
