TALKATIVE

Good morning everyone and happy Friday.

Today we are going to finish our review of the word talk, with an adjective form: TALKATIVE
Meaning: a person who talks a lot is talkative.

Example 1: My sister-in-law is so talkative that it's impossible to get a word in edgewise.

NOTE: to get a word in edgewise is an expression that means to be able to take part in the conversation. We usually use this expression with a negative word or expression to indicate that someone else won't let us speak ("I can't get a word in edgewise").

Example 2: My mother says I was very talkative as a baby, but I don't think that's true anymore.

The opposite of talkative is quiet.

Example 3: Lucy is a quiet child in general, but she enjoys talking about her hobbies.
