Korean adjectives, just like Korean verbs are placed at the end of a sentence. The main difference between verbs and adjectives is that an adjective can never act on an object.
Adjectives are very easy to use. Just put them into the sentence with your subject.

나는 아름답다 - I am beautiful
나는 작다 - I am small
이 버스는 크다 - This bus is big

There is one confusing thing about translating sentences with Korean adjectives to English. Notice that in all examples above, the words "am/is/are/etc..." are used. In English, these words need to be used when using an adjective.

Remember, the translation for "am/is/are" to Korean is 이다. However, you do not use 이다 when writing a sentence like this in Korean. Within the meaning of Korean adjective is "is/am/are." Early learners are always confused by this. The confusion stems from the fact that it is done differently in English and Korean.
