Hi Jorge,

What is meant is an adjective that is not directly linked to a noun as in with the expression -

It's great! = c'est super

in French, you use -

C'est + masculine form of the adjective

C'est grand = It's big

C'est petit = It's small

C'est beau = It's beautiful

C'est énorme = It's huge

etc.
