How to Make a Sentence Using Describing and Doing Words?

A sentence can be made by using a describing word before the noun. The role of the describing word would be to add detail to the word.

Exceptions

Most of the time, describing words are placed after the word it modifies, but if the verbs such as ‘be’, ‘seem’, ‘get’, ‘become’ or ‘appear’ are used in the sentence, then the adjective is used after those verbs.

Examples:

You seem to be tired.

Here ‘tired’ is the adjective used after ‘be’.
