🧑🎨 What Does She Look Like? — Describing People

🙂 How Many People? — And The Face
Use How many to ask about a number. After "how many", the noun is always plural.
❓ How Many + Plural Noun
- "How many students are there?"
- "How many people are in your family?"
✅ The Answer
- "There are six people."
- "There are twenty students."
People is an irregular plural: it doesn't end in -s. One person, two people — never "peoples" ❌.

sourire🎨 What Does She Look Like?
Ask "What does he/she look like?" or "What do they look like?" to get a description. Answer with has (hair, eyes) and is (tall, short).
❓ Questions
- "What color is his hair?"
- "Is his hair long or short?"
- "What color are her eyes?"
- "Is he tall or short?"
✅ Answers
- "He has black hair."
- "She has short red hair."
- "They have brown eyes."
- "He is very tall."
Use or to give a choice: "Are his eyes blue or brown?" Put very before an adjective to make it stronger: "He has very long hair." Hair and eye colors come before the noun: "blue eyes", never "eyes blue" ❌. (In British English, "color" is written with -our.)
