We're going to learn about describing things today.

現在進行形

First look at this episode of our drama...

... where Steve and Anne spend some time together in a Wildlife Park.

Oh, look at that little black and white one.

We have a very big one called a kookaburra.

Don't you notice they're very happy without us?

There was planty of animals there to describe.

To start today let's listen to the way Anne describes a kangaroo.

Anne uses two of the describing words called adjectives.

When we describe something like an animal...

... we usually say something about its size and color.

When we do this using two adjectives before the thing described...

... we say the size first and then the color.

Have a try saying 'Look at this big grey one' with Anne.

You can say 'one' instead of a noun that can be counted.

Some nouns can't be counted such as milk.

For nouns such as milk we don't use 'one'.

For instance if I said 'Do we have milk?'...

... you could answer 'Yes, we have some'...

If I ask you about something you could count...

Do you have a fridge to keep your food cold?

Can you remember what one Anne is talking about here?

She is referring to a bird called a Willy Wagtail.

Now listen as Steve talks about the sort of birds called Kingfishers.

You can use 'ones' to refer to plural nouns that can be counted.

Steve is saying that there are big Kingfishers...

Now listen to the order of the words Anne uses...

... to describe the kingfisher she and Steve are looking at.

First Anne uses the adjective that describes a quality - beauty...
