People say that when he speaks English he has a strong Italian accent. How can he improve this? Don't worry about your Italian accent, Alfredo. The most important thing is that people understand you when you speak. It tickles my fancy = it appeals to me, I like it
Sometimes we use more than one adjective in front of a noun: He’s a fat old man. (not Xold fatX) colour blind - daltónico We usually have one or two adjectives before a noun. Three is unusual: This is a boring, expensive, thick English text book. Adjectives usually (but not always) come in this order: 1. Opinion
A warm leather jacket. bulky - voluminoso/a A heavy, bulky Swiss suitcase
One lovely German woman.
All things/Everything/Anything/Anywhere etc All things culinary excite me; Anything Greek interests Mike. Some adjectives CAN’T come before a noun. They come after the verb. (Predicative) The boy is asleep/afraid/awake/alone/alike/alright. (NOT “the asleep/alone/etc. boy”) Most begin with letter “a______”
house (modern, attractive)
