Adjective + noun

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

 It’s an expensive guitar. (NOT It’s a guitar expensive.)


 She has a new car. 

 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. (NOT These are my favourites shoes.)


 She has blue eyes. (NOT She has blues eyes.)

very/quite

 
We can use very and quite before the adjectives.

 It’s very expensive.
 It’s quite expensive.
