I. The adjectives in English
Adjectives are words that accompany the name and modify it, since they give us information about something or someone.
1. The adjective will generally go before a noun
There is an interesting talk on He is a very skillful barman.
Wednesday. Es un barman muy hábil. Hay una charla interesante el miércoles. 2. We can also place the adjective behind the verb to be or a verb related to the five senses such as look, smell, taste, sound and feel, among others.
He is so good-looking! This smells awful.
¡Es tan guapo! Esto huele horrible.

characteristics, features or properties of a name. COLORS / CHARACTERISTICS
