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 very expensive.
It’s quite expensive.
