    Adjective + noun

    When we use adjectives with a noun in English, the adjectives go before 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

    We can also use adjectives without a noun after the verb be.

    • 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

    We can also use adjectives without a noun after the verbs of the senses: feel, look, smell, sound, taste.

    • 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

    Adjectives in English have no plural. They are always singular.

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

    Very/quite

    We can use very and quite before the adjectives.

    • It’s quite expensive.
