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 + 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.
