USEFUL WAYS OF DESCRIBING PEOPLE IN ENGLISH

Annotation: We describe people all the time. For example, you might tell your friends what your boss is like. You might tell your sister what that cute guy you saw looks like. Even outside of everyday conversations, it’s very useful to know how to describe people. Descriptions are used a lot in books, in articles and in other kinds of communication in English. Reading or hearing a description of someone can give you a better idea of what they look like or act like. Even native speakers sometimes find it hard to talk about themselves in English. Whether you’re describing yourself or someone else, knowing what some of these different ways are can be a big help.
