1. 1. Adjectives in English – grammar chart

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.
