2. ADJECTIVES BEFORE
NOUNS

3. ADJECTIVES BEFORE NOUNS
Adjectives usually go before
the nouns they modify.
•He is an intelligent boy.
•That was a clever idea.

4. Adjectives only after condition
verbs
Some adjectives are almost always only used after condition
verbs.
• He has written about the animal
which is alive.
• The man felt unhappy.

5. Few adjectives can be used
immediately after a noun.
Available, imaginable, possible and suitable are few of
the adjectives which can be used just before a noun.
However we use these adjectives just after the nouns only
when the noun follows words such as first, last, next, only
and superlative adjectives.
