were, was,” you should use “shì (是).” This assumption is wrong.
No right. So, in this case we have to use the word “hěn (很).
“hěn (很)” means “very,” but its meaning is weak here. You can think that it

Need xū yào 需要
noun.
In English, you can use the same word “cute” for both “He is cute” and “He
is a cute boy” and nothing needs to change for the word “cute”
But in Chinese, to use an adjective that contains more than one word to
describe a noun, you have to insert “de (的)” in between adjective and noun.
