Pretty - Beautiful - Handsome - Ugly
Beautiful Women and Handsome Men
Did you know that there are over 170,000 words in the English language and over 25% of them are adjectives?
A common mistake with adjectives is when describing people.
To describe a woman we could call her beautiful or pretty but we don’t call a man this – we would have to call him handsome.
To call a man pretty is a bit of an insult! It means they are good looking, but they look like a girl!
(Some might accuse Justin Bieber of being pretty! :D )
