ما ستتعلمه

أهلاً بك يا بطل! هل تساءلت يوماً كيف تصف صديقك المفضل أو تختار أفضل هاتف في المتجر؟ في هذا الفصل الممتع، سننتقل بلغتك الإنجليزية من الجمل البسيطة إلى وصف العالم من حولك بدقة وجمالية. ستبدأ بتعلم الصفات (Adjectives) وكيف تضعها قبل الاسم لوصف الأشياء؛ تذكر أن الإنجليزية أسهل مما تظن، فالصفة لا تتغير أبداً حتى لو كان الموصوف جمعاً! ثم سننتقل إلى روتينك اليومي باستخدام ظروف التكرار مثل Always وNever لتعبر بوضوح عن عدد المرات التي تمارس فيها هواياتك. ولإضافة لمسة من الاحترافية، ستتعلم كيف تصف «طريقة» قيامك بالأشياء (Adverbs of manner) مثل العمل «بسرعة» أو التحدث «بشكل جيد». أما الجزء الأكثر حماساً، فهو تعلم المقارنة! ستتمكن من القول إن هذا المنزل «أكبر من» ذاك، أو أن هذا الفيلم هو «الأكثر إثارة» على الإطلاق. هذه المهارات ضرورية جداً عندما تتسوق، أو تصف رحلتك الأخيرة، أو حتى عندما تفاضل بين خيارين في حياتك اليومية. بنهاية هذا الفصل، ستكون قادراً على رسم صور واضحة بكلماتك، وسيشعر من يسمعك أن لغتك أصبحت أكثر ثراءً وطبيعية. هيا بنا نبدأ، فالأمر أبسط بكثير مما تتخيل!

Don't pluralize

Never add an 's' to an adjective. It's always 'big houses', not 'bigs houses'.

The 'To Be' Rule

Always put the adverb AFTER 'am', 'is', or 'are'.

أخطاء شائعة

For short, one-syllable adjectives, we add '-er' instead of using 'more'.

Wrong: He is more tall than me.
صحيح: He is taller than me.

Frequency adverbs go AFTER the verb 'to be', even though they go BEFORE other verbs.

Wrong: I always am happy.
صحيح: I am always happy.

'Good' is an adjective; 'well' is the adverb form. Use adverbs to describe verbs.

Wrong: She speaks good.
صحيح: She speaks well.
