Vocabulary: Clothes
Finally, read about Megan's clothes:
- Megan is wearing a dark blue, flowery T-shirt, blue jeans and comfortable white sneakers.
- Megan is also wearing a silver necklace and a few bracelets on her wrist.
- She's carrying a brown leather handbag with a cute bow on the front.
The words in blue are adjectives. As we have already said before, adjectives always go before nouns (the red ones). If you have to use more than one adjective to describe a noun (i.e. clothes), you will usually have to follow the rule to put each adjective in the correct position:
| OPINION (opinión) | SIZE (tamaño) | SHAPE (forma) | COLOUR (color) | PATTERN (estampado) | MATERIAL (material) |
| wonderful, great... | big, small... | square, round... | red, black... | flowery, striped... | leather, wooden... |
- She is wearing a beautiful long red dress. - Ella lleva un vestido bonito largo y rojo.
- She is wearing a long black and white chequered jacket. - Lleva una chaqueta larga de cuadros blancos y negros.
- He is wearing an ugly blue denim shirt. - Él lleva una camisa fea de algodón azul.

Las palabras en azul son adjetivos. Como ya hemos explicado antes, los adjetivos en inglés se colocan delante del sustantivo (la palabra roja). Si tuvieras que utilizar más de un adjetivo para describir un objeto (ropa, por ejemplo) tendrás que respetar el orden establecido en este caso:
OPINION (opinión) + SIZE (tamaño) + SHAPE (forma) + COLOUR (color) + PATTERN (estampado)+ MATERIAL (material) + ROPA.
- She is wearing a beautiful long red dress. - Ella lleva un vestido bonito largo y rojo.
- She is wearing a long black and white chequered jacket. - Lleva una chaqueta larga de cuadros blancos y negros.
