Crystal_may,
If you are serious about participating in this forum I have some advice.
This forum is used for speakers of English to learn Spanish, and for Spanish speakers to learn English. Because of this, everyone is expected to use their respective languages correctly. No Leet, no chat speak, no garbled sentences.
As you have seen, people are having a bit of fun with the word backwoods vs. backwards. After all, these are people who are looking very carefully at words and sentence structure. Your initial post and follow-ups read somewhat hostile, whether you mean it that way or not. A kinder, gentler tone will get you a lot further here.
Crystal, I'm not sure what you are asking, but Spanish is a highly developed language used by many people throughout the world. I believe it is the primary language in at least 23 countries, and is spoken on at least 4 continents.
From what I have seen during my study, Spanish may be an older language than English (by several measures).
Also, Spanish provides some excellent advantages that allow (in my opinion) greater precision of communication than English.
So, no, Spanish is not "backwoods".
Okay, it appears you meant to say "backwards".
The other answers are good. Adjectives are often placed after the noun they describe. It is a language convention, but does not appear to be an absolute rule. There are some occasions when the adjective is placed before the noun.
I still see questions in the comments, so I'll try again. By the way, both the other responders to this question are much better Spanish speakers that I am, but I'll give it a shot.
noun - a word that is the name of something (person, place, plant, etc.)
adjective - a word usually serving as a modifier of a noun (describes the noun)
I have a red pencil.
Tengo un lapiz rojo.
rojo - red (adjective)
lapiz - pencil (noun)
Today is my last day here.
Hoy es mi último día aquí.
or is it
Hoy es mi día último aquí.
Or could it be either? People around here say it doesn't matter, but the teacher giving you a test may disagree.
You could say that english is backwords, in that you dont know what is being discribed until the end.....in that sense I beleive spanish is forwards...you know what is being discribed, so there is no room for confusion ![]()
crystal_may please, please try to use correct English grammar and spelling. These are the sentences you have written so far on this thread:-
so is spanish like backwoods or something ??? what ??? i mean like becaus it describes somin after it ?? come again ??? so it is ??? again, come again ??? what are u on about??? soz i missed a word
None of them begin with a capital letter and none are constructed or spelt correctly, yet you put your English level on your profile as fluent. Try to write on here how you would if you were writing for a teacher, or an important letter, not with text speak or as if you are on chat with your mates.
People on here are trying to learn English, they may look at your sentences and assume they are correct because you are fluent. If they copy you they will fail.

Play it loud if you dare ![]()
