English Vocabulary lesson on how to describe feelings (FUN LESSON !!!)

Hello everyone. How are you today? This is Marc. I'm doing just fine. Thanks for asking. When I receive messages about my videos, I'm thrilled. When I drive around downtown Rome, I look furious. When I watch a sad movie, I become miserable. When he has to write an exam, he gets anxious. When my lessons are watched by millions, I feel proud of myself. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to describe your own feelings, so stay tuned. Ok, as you may already know, an adjective describes a noun. But what happens when there isn't a noun? Well, in that case, the adjective describes the verb, ok, or the subject of the sentence. But we need some verbs, and these are some of them. Be, the verb to be, the verb to look, appear, seem, get, sound, turn, and become. These verbs are used with adjectives to describe how a person feels in a particular situation. Many times the same adjectives are used to describe feelings, tones, and emotions, but you need to remember that they are used especially with these verbs or verbs that require an adjective. So, let's look at my introductory examples. When I receive messages about my videos, I'm thrilled. In this case, I chose the verb to be. Ok, in this case, obviously, the verb to be describes the adjective, or the adjective describes the verb to be, the attitude of the sentence. So, I'm thrilled. Thrilled means very happy and excited. We have other synonyms. If you don't like thrilled, you can use delighted, euphoric, etc. Also, very happy or very excited. Remember that with all these adjectives, you can use mitigators or intensifiers. What are mitigators and intensifiers? There is a lesson on my playlist that you can take a look at, but basically, mitigators and intensifiers are adverbs that describe, ok, mitigate or intensify another adverb or another adjective in this case. I give you an example which is absolutely furious, ok, which is the second example that I'm going to talk about right now. When I drive around downtown Rome, I look furious. In this case, I chose the verb to look, which is to give the impression of something, ok. In this case, I look furious, ok. Maybe I'm not, but I look furious. And furious means very angry. The synonyms are, that you can use in this case, boiling, frantic, even in slang, we can say pissed off, ok, but this is slang. And, as I mentioned before, you can obviously place an intensifier in this case before the adjective. Now, let's look at the third example. When I watch a sad movie, I become miserable. Becomes or to become means to change. So, miserable means unhappy and depressed. So, synonyms that I could replace, if you don't like miserable, we can use fed up, gloomy, wretched, etc. Let's look at the fourth example. When he has to write an exam, he gets anxious. Here, the verb to get is with the same meaning of become, ok. So, it's like change, become. And anxious means worried and afraid. Synonyms that you can use instead of anxious, you can say eager or avid or impatient. The last example of today, when my lessons are watched by millions, I feel proud of myself. Ok, feel here is a verb that describes feelings, obviously, and proud here is the adjective. So, proud means pleased about something or somebody, ok, pleased about something that you have done, ok, and in this case I have done videos and so I am pleased about myself. Synonyms that you can use instead of proud are satisfied, gratified, or appreciative. Now, let's recap. So, in this lesson, we talked about some adjectives that describe feelings. Obviously, you know that adjectives describe a noun. When you don't have a noun in the sentence, obviously, they describe the subject, but when they describe a subject, you need a verb. There are some verbs that you need to use, like to be, to look, to sound, to appear, to become, to get, etc. We looked at five examples. Remember that you can use intensifiers or mitigators to describe the adjective. So, if you don't know mitigators and intensifiers, I suggest you look over it, ok, under my playlist. Maybe you can refresh your memory. Now, I have a question for you. When the plane you've just boarded is about to take off, how do you feel? Answer this question under this video. I hope you enjoyed the lesson. If you have any comments, requests, or complaints, you may type them under it. I see you next time, and have a great day. Don't forget to share. Bye-bye.
