Adjectives can come in many positions. However usually they'll follow the noun they modify. La casa rojo. The red house. El apocalipsis zombie. The zombie apocalypse.

Changing the position can change the meaning as well. I'll leave it to others to go into finer details, I might come back later and add more. Until then I suggest you go to the reference section and look under grammar, there you'll see many topics about adjectives. You can start here.

Generally speaking, adjectives that describe are placed after the noun they describe: "la chica alta" - the tall girl; "mi clase preferida" - my favorite class. On the other hand, adjectives that refer to quantity go before the noun: "Hay pocas personas aquí" - there are few people here; "veinte chicas asistieron a la reunión" - Twenty girls attended the meeting. I hope this helps!
