THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE YOUR HAIR AND EYES IN SPANISH.

DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE COLOUR WORDS IN SPANISH WHEN
DESCRIBING EYES?
LOOK AGAIN AT THIS EXAMPLE…
TENGO LOS OJOS AZULES = I HAVE BLUE
EYES
THE COLOUR ALSO HAS AN “S”! THIS IS BECAUSE THE COLOUR WORD IS BEING
USED TO DESCRIBE EYES MORE THAN ONE OF SOMETHING IS KNOWN AS
“PLURAL”. ADDING THIS EXTRA “S” WHEN DESCRIBING SOMETHING THAT IS
PLURAL IS KNOWN AS “AGREEMENT”. MAKING SURE YOU GET THE
“AGREEMENTS” CORRECT WILL HELP YOU REACH LEVEL 3.
When DESCRIBING YOURSELF, THE WORDS FOR EYE COLOUR, HAIR
COLOURS AND STYLES CAN BE COMBINED IN ONE SENTENCE. COPY
THIS EXAMPLE…
TENGO LOS OJOS VERDES Y EL
PELO MARRÓN Y CORTO
=
I HAVE GREEN EYES AND
SHORT, BROWN HAIR.
USE LINKING WORDS
(“CONNECTIVES”)
Y (SAID “EE”) = AND
PERO = BUT
*COMPLETE THE SENTENCES WITH THE
RIGHT ADJECTIVE TO DESCRIBE EYES AND
HAIR- Look at the example
I HAVE BLACK AND LONG HAIR
1.Tengo el pelo negro y largo
I HAVE LONG AND BLOND HAIR
I HAVE LONG AND RED HAIR
2.Tengo el PELO
….. largo y rubio
PELIRROJO

RUBIO y …….
I HAVE STRAIGHT AND BROWN HAIR
pelo liso y marrón
Tengo El…….

Copy this title – “SAYING HOW TALL I AM”
Copy the following phrases into your books in Spanish and
English
“SOY ALTO”
“SOY ALTA”
= “I AM TALL”
= “I AM SMALL”
“SOY BAJO”
“SOY BAJA”
• WHEN WE ARE DESCRIBING PEOPLE WE MUST ALSO MAKE SURE THE ADJECTIVES AGREE
• THE WORDS “ALTO” (TALL) AND “BAJO” (SMALL) ARE ADJECTIVES SO THEY AGREE WITH
THE PERSON THEY ARE DESCRIBING.
“SOY DE TALLA MEDIANA”
= “I AM MEDIUM HEIGHT”
SO FAR, WE HAVE LEARNT PHRASES TO DESCRIBE OURSELVES.
THESE ARE THE KEY PHRASES WE HAVE USED SO FAR…
“ME LLAMO” = “MY NAME IS”
“TENGO” = “I HAVE”
“SOY” = “I AM”
NOW IT IS TIME TO BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE OTHER PEOPLE. THESE ARE THE PHRASES
YOU WILL NEED…
WRITE THIS TITLE IN YOUR BOOKS – “DESCRIBING OTHER PEOPLE”
COPY THE FOLLOWING KEY PHRASES (IN RED BOXES) INTO YOUR BOOKS IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH
“SE LLAMA” =“HE IS CALLED” OR “HIS NAME IS”
“SE LLAMA” =“SHE IS CALLED” OR “HER NAME IS”
“TIENE” = “HE HAS”
“ES” = “HE IS”
“TIENE” = “SHE HAS”
“ES” = “SHE IS”
DESCRIBING A MALE PERSON
“SE LLAMA STEPHEN FRY.
TIENE LOS OJOS AZULES Y
PELO MARRON. ES ALTO
THIS MEANS – “HIS NAME IS STEPHEN FRY. HE HAS BLUE EYES AND
BROWN HAIR. HE IS TALL”.
(NOTICE THE AGREEMENTS. THE EXTRA “S” IS ADDED TO THE COLOUR WHEN
DESCRIBING THE EYES.
DESCRIBING A FEMALE PERSON
“SE LLAMA KYLIE MINOGUE.
TIENE LOS OJOS AZULES Y

BLONDE HAIR. SHE IS SMALL”.
(NOTICE THE AGREEMENTS. THE EXTRA “S” IS ADDED TO THE COLOUR WHEN
DESCRIBING THE EYES ). THE “A” IS ADDED TO THE WORD FOR “SMALL” BECAUSE
KYLIE IS FEMININE.
NOW IT IS YOUR TURN….
