ADJETIVOS

¿Qué son los adjetivos en inglés?

Los adjetivos en inglés son palabras que usamos para describir o dar más información sobre
personas, cosas, animales, lugares, entre muchas otras cosas más. Ellos nos dicen cómo es algo o
alguien, permitiéndonos tener una imagen más clara en nuestra mente sobre su tamaño, forma,
color, cantidad, origen, edad, etc.

En español tenemos una amplia variedad de ellos, como: Feliz/ Rojo/ Viejo

En inglés es exactamente lo mismo: Feliz – Happy / Rojo – Red/ Viejo – Old

Hay 2 formas muy comunes de usar los adjetivos en inglés una es después del verbo to be:

He is angry (Él está enojado) I am tired (Estoy cansada)

Y la otra es antes de cualquier sustantivo. Hay que tener especial cuidado acá ya que si bien, la
función general en ambos idiomas es la misma: describir cosas y/o personas. El orden en el que se
usan es distinto en español e inglés.

Orden básico de los adjetivos en inglés

Para comprender este tema, es fundamental entender que en inglés, cuando utilizamos un
adjetivo con un sustantivo, generalmente seguimos la fórmula «adjetivo + sustantivo». Por
ejemplo, «a beautiful photo» (una hermosa foto).

Si tenemos varios adjetivos, también se colocan antes del sustantivo. En este caso, seguimos la
estructura «adjetivo 1 + adjetivo 2 + adjetivo 3 + sustantivo». Por ejemplo, «An interesting old
Chinese movie» (Una película china antigua interesante). En esta frase, los adjetivos «interesting»
(interesante), «old» (antigua o vieja), y «Chinese» (china) deben seguir un orden específico para
que la oración sea correcta.

El orden más común de los adjetivos en inglés es: opinión, tamaño, edad, forma, color, origen,
material, propósito

La diferencia entre los adjetivos terminados en ED e ING. Recuerda que no todos los adjetivos
terminan con alguna de estas dos formas, piensa en los adjetivos: «happy» (feliz), «delicious»
(delicioso), «tall» (alto). Entonces, cuando hablamos de este tema no nos referimos a todos los
adjetivos, sino a unos en particular. A continuación, te explicamos su diferencia.

ADJETIVOS CON TERMINACIÓN (ED / ING)

Los adjetivos que terminan en ED describen un sentimiento (feeling) o una emoción. Observa los
siguientes ejemplos:
• I am bored I want to go home. / Estoy aburrido (a), me quiero ir a casa.

• My mom is interested in architecture. / Mi madre está interesada en la arquitectura.

En ambas oraciones los adjetivos (bored y interested) están dando cuenta de un sentimiento:

En la primera oración «sentirse aburrido» y «sentirse interesado en algo» en la segunda. Casi

siempre estos adjetivos al ser traducidos al español tienen terminaciones «ida», «ido», «ado» y
«ada». Por ejemplo: interesado, interesada, aburrido o aburrida.

Los adjetivos que terminan en ING describen una característica de una situación, una cosa o
incluso una persona (pero sin tener en cuenta los sentimientos). Veamos unos ejemplos para
entender mejor:

• This movie is really boring. / Esta película es muy aburrida.

• That situation was disturbing for the community. / Esa situación fue perturbadora para la
comunidad.

En ambas oraciones estamos hablando de una característica de un sustantivo. En la primera

oración el adjetivo boring (aburrido) describe una característica del sustantivo «movie» (película);
en la segunda oración disturbing (perturbador) describe el sustantivo «situation» (situación); por
lo anterior, los adjetivos de las anteriores oraciones deben terminar con ING.
