A1
Adjective before a noun or after be
New
An adjective goes before a noun or after be. It never changes: no plural -s, and it comes before the noun, not after.Прикметник стоїть перед іменником або після be. Він не змінюється: без -s у множині, і стоїть перед іменником, а не після.
subject+be+adjective
She has a new phone. У неї новий телефон.
The soup is hot. Суп гарячий.
I have two blues bags.
I have two blue bags.
Типова помилка: В українській прикметник узгоджується з іменником у числі й роді, тому хочеться додати -s: blues bags. В англійській прикметник завжди однаковий: blue bags.

Very, really, quite and so
New
Put very, really, quite or so before an adjective to say how strong it is. After be, the adjective follows the word: very big, not big very.Very, really, quite і so ставимо перед прикметником, щоб показати, наскільки він сильний. Після be: very big, а не big very.
subject+be+very / really / quite / so+adjective
The film was really good. Фільм був справді гарний.
Your sister is very kind. Твоя сестра дуже добра.
The test was difficult very.
The test was very difficult.
Типова помилка: Українське «дуже» може стояти й після слова, а англійське very — тільки перед прикметником: very difficult, не difficult very. Також very не стоїть перед дієсловом: I like it very much.

Look, feel, sound and taste + adjective
New
After look, feel, sound, smell and taste, use an adjective, not an adverb. You say She looks happy, not She looks happily.Після look, feel, sound, smell і taste ставимо прикметник, а не прислівник: She looks happy, не She looks happily.
subject+look / feel / sound / taste+adjective
You look tired today. Ти сьогодні виглядаєш втомленим.
This soup tastes great. Цей суп чудовий на смак.
The music sounds greatly.
The music sounds great.
Типова помилка: Українське «виглядає щасливо» чи «звучить чудово» схоже на прислівник, тому виникає looks happily. В англійській після look, feel, sound, taste потрібен прикметник.

Too + adjective
New
Too means more than you want or can accept. Use too before an adjective: too hot, too expensive. Do not use too much before an adjective.Too означає «занадто»: більше, ніж треба чи можна. Ставимо too перед прикметником: too hot, too expensive. Перед прикметником не кажемо too much.
subject+be+too+adjective
This bag is too heavy. Ця сумка занадто важка.
It's too cold to swim today. Сьогодні занадто холодно, щоб плавати.
The bag is too much heavy.
The bag is too heavy.
Типова помилка: Українське «занадто / дуже» перекладають і як too, і як very. Але too має негативний сенс («більше, ніж потрібно»): The tea is too hot — я не можу його пити. The tea is very hot — просто гаряче.

Adjective + enough
New
Enough goes after an adjective: tall enough, old enough. It means as much as you need. Do not put enough before the adjective.Enough ставимо після прикметника: tall enough, old enough. Це означає «достатньо». Не кажемо enough перед прикметником.

Is the water warm enough? Вода достатньо тепла?
She is old enough to drive. Вона достатньо доросла, щоб водити.
He isn't enough tall.
He isn't tall enough.
Типова помилка: Українське «достатньо високий» ставить слово перед прикметником, тому виникає enough tall. В англійській enough стоїть після прикметника: tall enough. Перед іменником — навпаки: enough money.

Order of adjectives
New
When you use two adjectives before a noun, opinion comes first, then facts: size, age, colour, material. Use a comma only between adjectives of the same kind.Коли перед іменником два прикметники, спочатку йде думка, потім факти: розмір, вік, колір, матеріал. Кому ставимо між прикметниками одного типу.
a+opinion+size / age+colour+noun
She has a lovely old house. У неї чудовий старий будинок.
He wore a big black coat. Він носив велике чорне пальто.
She has a black big dog.
She has a big black dog.
Типова помилка: В українській порядок прикметників вільніший: «чорна велика собака» теж можлива. В англійській порядок майже фіксований: big black dog, а не black big dog.
