I know that there are adjectives that always stand after "to be" verb. And there are others that can stand either before noun or after "to be" verb.
What is the rule to know what adjectives can stand after "to be" verb and before noun and what can only stand after "to be" verb (can't stand before noun) ?
I know some adjectives such as "alive" that can only stand after "to be" verb to modify the subject.
I'm doubting about "lovable" and "lovely" without knowing what kind of adjective (that I mentioned above) they are. I think "lovable" can only stand after "to be" verb. I can say "she is lovable" but can't say "she is a lovable (use 'lovely' instead) girl".
Could you please help me !
Thank you so much !
