Typically, adjectives that describe beauty, age, goodness, and size come before the noun and can be memorized using the acronym B.A.G.S.
Some examples:
une jolie fille - pretty girl
un jeune homme - young man
une nouvelle maison - new house
un bon enfant - good child
un petit problème - small problem
les sincères condoléances - sincere condolences
les vagues promesses - vague promises
un gentil garçon - kind boy

Hello, in french the adjectives go BEHIND!! But sometimes we use it IN FRONT OF;
ex; C'est un beau chat/ une bele fille
But most of the times we use it behind... ex: Un livre de français, un verre vert, une table ronde, etc etc etc
