Adjectives

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 +

We can also use adjectives without a noun

 Adjectives in English have no plural.

They are always singular.
