In general: always after the noun. But if on this list, put the adjective first: altro bello bravo brutto buono caro cattivo giovane grande lungo nuovo piccolo primo stesso vecchio vero ultimo

Ex: un altro giorno un lungo fiume

Try: a small house the first day ..

If adjective BEFORE the noun - it determines the article: uno studente un bravo studente gli amici i nuovi amici

With modifier (molto, poco, abbastanza, un po'); both are placed AFTER the noun. a very new book - un libro molto nuovo. a very smalll cup - una tazza molto piccola

In short: The general rule: after. Sometimes, first. (Which determines the article) With modifier, always after.

Great work! 😊
