"Des mots descriptifs" a hard rock song that targets the comprehension and manipulation of adjectives. It tells the story of why we use adjectives in sentences, and it provides plenty of examples.
Imaginez un monde sans description ce serait toujours ennuyeux
Des cloches sans sons, des gens sans noms
Un ciel gris, non jamais bleu
Tu vois une fleur et elle te fait peur
Elle se trouve sans beauté
Sans une seule couleur, pas de vie dans son coeur
Comme elle n’a jamais existé
Imaginez un monde sans description ce serait toujours ennuyeux
Des cloches sans sons, des gens sans noms
Un ciel gris, non jamais bleu
Des mots descriptifs, ça me rend plus actif...
Tu parles à ton papa...
Pour décrire une quantité...
Imaginez un monde sans description ce serait toujours ennuyeux
Des cloches sans sons, des gens sans noms
Un ciel gris, non jamais bleu
Bleu! Orange! Rouge!
Oh, des mots descriptifs
Grand! Petit! Belle!
