We use adjectives to describe nouns.
Most adjectives can be used in front of a noun:
They have a beautiful house.
We saw a very exciting film last night.
or after a link verb like be, look or feel:
Their house is beautiful.
That film looks interesting.

Hello sir , could you help me with this sentence it sound interesting are we should say it interesting sound ? Because i think interesting is adjective and sound is noun ?
Hello g-ssan,
These are two different things.
'It sounds interesting' is a sentence -- 'it' is the subject, 'sounds' is the link verb and 'interesting' is an adjective. It means that 'it' is something that interests us. 'sounds' doesn't actually refer to a sound here -- it's another way of saying 'is' really.
'an interesting sound' is a noun phrase -- 'an' is a determiner' and 'interesting' is an adjective that tells us more about the noun 'sound'. It's referring to a sound that we find interesting.
I hope this clarifies it for you, but if not, please don't hesitate to ask again.
All the best,
Kirk
