Winter adjectives list
Winter is here! During December, January, and February, the northern hemisphere blankets with snow, temperatures drop significantly, and the holidays take over. In the United States, people continue working and studying. Schools take a two to three break week to celebrate the new year. Traditionally, in the United States, December is the holiday season, observing Christmas and other celebrations as Hannukah and Kwanza.
December also marks the last month of the Gregorian calendar. People celebrate the new year On December 31st with parties and delicious dinners.
In the United States, December is known as the high buying season. People celebrating religious holidays give gifts to their loved ones to express their appreciation and good wishes for the upcoming year.
People celebrating Christmas have an important and fun tradition: looking for the Christmas tree. Usually, people visit pine tree nurseries and pick a natural tree to bring home and decorate with different ornaments and lights.
I think winter is so much fun! And we can use different words to describe what happens during this season. Such words are called adjectives.
Adjectives are a part of English speech. We use adjectives to describe how a person, place, or thing (noun) is.
If you go to the pine tree nursery looking for the perfect Christmas tree, what words can you use to describe it to the salesperson? Do you need a small tree or do you prefer a large one? Do you want it fragrant? How costly? How firm are the branches? How soft are the needles? Do you like it cut or potted? What words can you describe them? A simple form to remember them is by recalling our five senses; you can use your sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing. Most likely, you will tell the appearance (crooked), texture (rough), size (tall), and needles texture (soft).
