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