They can also be used alone after the verb to be and after verbs such as look, s
mell, sound, feel, taste etc.

There are two kinds of
adjectives; opinion adjectives (e.g. beautiful, lovely,

Fact Adjectives

great, expensive, etc) which

show what a person thinks of somebody or something, and fact adjectives
