¡Y eso es todo por hoy!
Como veis, hay algunos adjetivos para los que nosotros no tenemos traducción, es decir, se traduce igual el adjetivo (sin very) que el adjetivo concreto (new adjective). Aún así, utilizar algunos de estos adjetivos en una redacción en inglés hará que quede mucho más completa e interesante. Así que os animo a que os aprendáis los que más os gusten o los que más vayáis a utilizar para así usarlos más a menudo.
¿Cuál es vuestro favorito? ¡A mí me encanta hilarious!
