Qualitative adjectives

1. Adjectives are use to describe nouns, they give more details or information about them.

     (Háblame sobre tu amigo)                     (Bueno, el es alto, moreno y guapo).

2. Adjectives comes before the nouns they modify (no after).

(Tres felices hippies vivieron en el Hotel Heartquake)

3. Adjectives can also be used with linking verbs to describe the subject of a sentence. When used in this manner, the adjective(s) come after the linking verb.
