Someone who 〜

Hi English-conversation students,

For the past few weeks in my beginners classes, I have asked the following question:
     What kind of person do you want to marry? (どんな人と結婚したいのですか。)
Here are some of the most popular answers using adjectives (形容詞):
     I want to marry someone who is rich (お金持ちの人).
     I want to marry someone good-looking (ルックスの良い人).
     Someone who is kind (親切な人).
     Someone funny (面白い[ユーモアがある]人).
Please notice that when using an adjective, you can shorten your answer to just two words (Someone _____.).

Of course, there are other ways to answer the same question. Changing the verb from "is" to "can" is very useful. In this case, "can" is followed by the dictionary-form of a verb (動詞の辞書形). For example:
     Someone who can cook (料理ができる人).
     Someone who can play tennis (テニスができる人).

Changing the verb to "likes" followed by a noun (名詞) is another good way to answer the same question:
     Someone who likes music (音楽が好きな人).
     Someone who likes movies (映画が好きな人).

Good luck,

Alan
