In this episode I’ll be answering John's question regarding the position of adjectives in a sentence: In "J'ai une voiture rouge.", the adjective (rouge/red) is after the object (voiture/car). But in a sentence like " C'est une grande fille.", the adjective  (grande/tall ) is before the object ( fille/girl )."

Is there a simple rule or tool you can use to be certain your placement is correct? Listen to my podcast and find out!
