Here are some words and concepts that will be covered in Lesson Six of the downloadable Lesson Guide (446K PDF file).
Beautiful; Gorgeous: having pleasing qualities
- "Gorgeous" is stronger than "beautiful"
- These words can describe things to look at and to listen to.
- Some synonyms are pretty, lovely, and handsome.
- The opposite is ugly.
Tiny: very small size
- There are many words on a continuum that refer to size: tiny, small, little, big, large, huge, giant.
- Adjectives are relative: a small elephant is bigger than a large dog.
Easy: doesn't take much effort to do
- Many things are easy to do (but different people find different things easy).
- "It is easy to __________."
- The opposite is "hard," or "difficult."
- "Piece of cake" means "easy."
Very: added to an adjective for emphasis
- Some words conceptually incorporate "very": "starving" means very hungry; "beautiful" means very pretty; "tiny" means very small.
- "Very" and "much" often go together, as in "Thank you very much."
