When we describe a suspect to the police, it is important to give as much information as you can. This will help them look for and hopefully catch the person who committed the crime. From the video, you see that you can use: height, age, length, hair (length, type, and color), and facial hair, if it was a man. We can also describe the person's weight, eye color, and clothing/jewelry. Weight description words include: thin, slim, light (for a little weight) and fat, plump, heavy ( for a lot of weight).
