Sangre roja vs roja sangre

Andy T.B2Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Why is the answer to the quiz question "Laura y Pedro vieron sangre roja en la pared" and not "Laura y Pedro vieron roja sangre en la pared"?

The lesson says that the adjective goes BEFORE the known if it is emphasizing that quality, and the hint for the question is "HINT: The adjective "red" has an emphatic nuance and red is the colour of blood"

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Position of adjectives in Spanish"

Hola Andy T

You're right, and we've corrected it in the system!

The answer should indeed be "Laura y Pedro vieron roja sangre en la pared", with the adjective placed before the noun to add that emphatic, dramatic nuance.

Thank you for helping clarify this point!

Buen finde
