Answer: Most adjectives can go in two main places in a sentence: in attributive position and predicative position. In the attributive position, an adjective comes before the noun it modifies. She is a nice girl. She married a rich businessman. In a predicative position, an adjective goes after the verb.
Explanation: Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb. The latter type of adjective is called a predicative adjective.
