Adjectives – old, interesting, expensive, etc.

Adjective + Noun

In English, adjectives go before the noun they describe. This helps to add more detail to the noun.

It’s an expensive guitar. ✔
It’s a guitar expensive. ✘
She has a new car. ✔
She has a car new. ✘

Am/Is/Are + Adjective

Adjectives can also be used without a noun after the verb be. This structure places the adjective after "am," "is," or "are".

This guitar is expensive.
Her car is new.

In questions, the adjective can go after be + subject:

Is your car new?
Are your classmates nice?

Feel/Look/Smell/Sound/Taste + Adjective

Some verbs of the senses in English are followed by adjectives to express qualities perceived by senses.

Your idea sounds interesting.
I don't like this soup. It tastes horrible.
You look tired.
These cookies smell delicious.
I feel depressed.

No Plural

In English, adjectives do not have plural forms. They are always singular.

These are my favourite shoes. ✔
These are my favourites shoes. ✘
She has blue eyes. ✔
She has blues eyes. ✘

Very/Quite + Adjective

We can use very and quite before adjectives for emphasis.

It’s very expensive.
It’s quite interesting.
