covered with or full of grass
Describing a place where a lot of grass grows.
Padrão de uso:
a grassy [place]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"the ground has many grass"* instead of using the adjective and saying *"the ground is grassy"* or *"there is a lot of grass on the ground"*. Another mistake is using *"grass"* instead of *"grassy" before a noun, for example *"a grass hill"* instead of *"a grassy hill"*.

having a grass-like taste or smell
Describing food or drink that tastes or smells a bit like fresh grass.
Padrão de uso:
[food/drink] has a grassy taste
Erro comum:
Learners may confuse *"grassy"* with *"graceful"* or think it only describes land. In food and drink, *"grassy"* is positive or neutral and is not the same as *"dirty"* or *"raw"*; it specifically means it reminds you of fresh grass or plants.
