!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

GRAMMAR. ADJECTIVES. PROFICIENCY AND ADVANCED.


Adjectives describe nouns. We normally use
adjectives in two positions - before nouns and after
'link' verbs (be, seem, appear, become, feel, look, tuste,
sound, smell, get, etc.):
What a pleasant man! He seemed pleasant.
We can use many adjectives in both positions, but
we use others in either one position or the other:
It was an outright victory (VICTORIA INDISCUTIDA, ABSOLUTA). I'm glad you could come.
Here are more examples of adjectives commonly
used before nouns:
countless, indoor, neighbouring, maximum,
northerly
Here are examples of adjectives used after verbs:
awake, content, asleep, aware, glad,
afraid, alive, sure, alone, alike.
