Adjectives What is an adjective?

Describing ourselves In English it is normal for someone to say “Tell me about yourself.” In Spanish, this occurs as well. When someone wants to know things about us, we describe ourselves with adjectives. “I am fun.” “I am boring.” etc. Today we will learn how to ask someone about themselves and how to respond when we are asked them. They ask: ¿Cómo eres? (Describe yourself) We respond: Soy ________. (Blank to be filled in with an adjective.)
