A Quick Tip About BLUE
In English, colour words like blue are ADJECTIVES — they go BEFORE the noun (the thing they describe). Say “a blue car” — never “a car blue”.
Putting “blue” AFTER the noun
✗ I have a bag blue.
✓ I have a blue bag.
Easy way to remember: COLOUR comes BEFORE the THING. “A blue dress”. “A blue flower”. “A blue car”. Always in that order.
