Adjectives in English
Everything from this lesson, in one table. Adjectives behave differently from Portuguese.
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| Before the noun | a red car |
| After the verb be | The car is red. |
| Never plural | two red cars — not “reds” |
| Order: size + color | a big red car |
Em português o adjetivo vem depois (carro vermelho); em inglês vem antes (red car).
Great job!
