You almost always put it in front of an adjective你幾乎都會把它放在形容詞前面,to say that quality is so strong you cannot really describe it來表示那個特質強到你真的很難形容:indescribably beautiful美到難以形容、indescribably sad難過到難以形容、indescribably strange怪到難以形容。It is a heavy 'very'它是加重版的「very」,a little dramatic有點誇張。

Though actually, it sounds odd if you leave it hanging after a verb with nothing after it — “She sang indescribably” is not how English usually works; you want “She sang indescribably well.” Same idea as the adjective, just stuck onto the next describing word.
Though actually不過其實,it sounds odd if you leave it hanging after a verb with nothing after it如果把它掛在動詞後面、後面什麼都沒接,聽起來會怪怪的——'She sang indescribably'「She sang indescribably」is not how English usually works不是英文(English)通常(usually)運作(works)的用法;you want 'She sang indescribably well'你會想說「She sang indescribably well」。Same idea as the adjective這跟形容詞的用法概念一樣,just stuck onto the next describing word只是黏到後面那個形容的字上。
