In English, adjectives usually go before a noun, but they sometimes appear after a noun if using the verb “be” as in the examples above. The banana is yellow.

This is a yellow banana.

This is a banana ~~yellow~~.

English adjectives also don’t take a plural form. They’re always singular. That’s easy! The only time an adjective changes is in the comparative and superlative forms which we will study in later lessons.
