Hello guys... how are you today? I hope you're always fine there :)

Today we will learn about descriptive text.

So, what is descriptive text?  Descriptive text is a text which describes something/ someone.

It has a purpose, to describe a particular person, place, or thing.

Then, the generic structure of descriptive text there are:

• Identification  : identifies phenomenon to be described.

• Description : describes parts, qualities, characteristics.

 

In the descriptive text, there is language features. Here some language features that usually be used:

→    Use of attributive and identifying processes

→    Use of simple present tense

Sometimes, we also find Linking Verbs. A linking verb connects a noun or pronoun with words that identify or describe the noun or pronoun.

Many linking verbs are forms of the verb be.

e.g.:

• I am a student.
• His paws are strong.
• The house was on the hill.

Beside to be, there are other linking verbs. 

e.g.:

• She likes to eat
• The dog’s barking sounds very noisy.
• The milk tastes so sweet.
