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