Explanation

In English, the adjectives are usually placed BEFORE the noun or object that is being described.

For example:

  • The big house
  • The green apple
  • The fast cars
  • The important man

When the verb “to be” is being used in the sentence, the adjective may come after the verb to be.

For example:

  • The house is big.
  • The apple is green.
  • The cars are fast.
  • The man is important.

When using adjectives in English, you can also put both an adjective BEFORE the noun and after the verb “to be”.

For example:

  • The big house is blue.
  • The fast cars are new.

In English, adjectives are NEVER plural.

You cannot say: The bigs houses. -or- The bananas are yellows. These are WRONG!
