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