There are two types of word which
correspond to adjectives:
stative verbs and attitudinals.
Stative verbs denote states that an object is in.
For instance, "to stand", "to be seeing something",
and in this case "to be blue" or "to be tall".
Stative verbs functioning as adjectives
always go after the noun they modify.
Attitudinals denote subjective qualities
of an object, like "good", "familiar", "strange".
They cannot take conjugations like verbs can,
but may go before or after a noun.
