The nationalities are hard to know in English because they do not have a pattern that you can follow to add their endings, which are: ESE-AN-ISH-I. If you want to say what is your nationality, you need the verb "To be" since the verb "To be" is used for two things to tell adjectives and to tell the location, IE: Las nacionalidades son difciles de saber en Ingles ya que no manejan un patrn que se pueda seguir para adicionar sus terminaciones, que son: ESE-AN-ISH-I. si quiere decir cual es su nacionalidad, necesita el verbo To be ya que el verbo To be sirve para dos cosas para adjetivar y para decir la locacin, es decir:

Subject pronoun + be
I You/We/They He/She/ It am are is a dancer Colombian a student adjective

I You/We/They He/She/ It

am are is

Order of adjectives: 1. Adjectives normally go before nouns: los adjetivos normalmente van antes del adjetivo. He has a big car. 2. When there are two or more adjectives, they go in this order: cuando hay dos o ms adjetivos, ellos van en este orden:

Para ms informacin visita: http://mentoringfromabroadsanantonio.blogspot.com/2009/01/or der-of-adjectives.html o Ir al final del documento para la definicin de cada item1

Antes de la opinin se pone cualquiera de las siguientes cosas: El nmero osea: one, two, etc o El artculo como: a, an, the, etc o El pronombre: his, our, etc, o El determinant: como: this, that, those, etc.. o Adjetivos posesivos: my, your, their, etc2

EXAMPLES: She is a beautiful old Colombian woman. They are two big American soccer players. Those are my little young students. She is wearing a short black leather miniskirt. He is my handsome and tall boyfriend.

It is important to know that this is the order that should be used, but it is very unusual to have eight adjectives in one sentence. Es importante saber que este es el orden que se debe de usar, pero que es muy inusual tener ocho adjetivos en una sola oracin.
