- - - - In English, adjectives tend to follow this order:
        opinion, size/shape, age, colour, origin, material + NOUN
        ATTRIBUTE POSITIION (academic writting we usually prefer it):
        
        before a noun We have just seen an exciting film
        
        PREDICATIVE (adjectives beginning with the letter a, health and feelings):
        
        after a linking verb That film was exciting
        
        PS:
        Classifying adjectives (which describe what type of thing something is) and emphasising adjectives are normally only used BEFORE a noun.
        Adjectives AFTER pronouns, nouns
        
        indefinite pronouns: something, anyone. "I am looking for somethng cheap
        
        some adjectives end in able / ible can follow a noun AFTER a superlative adjective or AFTER the first/last/next/only
