00:17.080 --> 00:18.280
or pronoun.

00:18.280 --> 00:24.950
Remember that adjectives may come before or after the word they modify.

00:25.000 --> 00:28.150
Have a look the example over here.

00:28.150 --> 00:30.810
This is a cute cat.

00:30.880 --> 00:32.850
This cat is cute.

Now the word cute is an adjective and modifies the noun cat.

00:40.270 --> 00:47.470
Note that in the fourth sentence the adjective comes before the noun cat and in the second sentence

00:47.710 --> 00:57.380
