Portuguese adjectives are a bit different from adjectives in English as they generally match the gender of the noun they're describing. For example, the color red changes depending on whether you're describing a bike –bicicleta vermelha– or a car –carro vermelho. Luckily in Portuguese, there are only two genders for adjectives and they're pretty easy to remember.
Take a look at those examples again. Did you notice something else that's different to English? I most cases the adjective goes after the noun unlike in English. I promise it's easier than it sounds...
