Bobs reply to Jims note. Parts of the mountain bike are UNDERLINED

in the text. Find these parts in the picture and label them as in the example.

Dear Jim,

Front light

Opinion adjectives are those

which express our personal
opinion: that is what we think
about something (e.g. beautiful,
ugly, comfortable, cute, etc.)

Fact adjectives are those

which express facts: that is what
something really is.

Thanks for your note. Here is some

information about the bike.
It is a large red mountain bike with black
rubber handlebars. Its got ten gears and
the brakes work very well. It has a front
light, but it hasnt got a back light. Its got
a comfortable, brand new leather saddle.
The only problem is that it needs a new
back tyre.
Im selling it because I want to buy a motor
bike. I would like US$ 60 for it, but we can
discuss the price.
I hope this tells you everything you need to
know.

When youBob
use smith
two or more adjectives,
you must always put them in the correct
order. We dont normally use more than
two or three adjectives to describe a
noun.
