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