Can I say...
"My teacher is hardworking."
Ms Word said it's wrong as certain adjectives can only be placed before a noun. If it is, could someone please use "teacher - hardworking" to make a simple sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Your sentence looks OK to me. It's true that certain adjectives can only be placed before the noun, but "hardworking" isn't one of them.
