Order of Ajectives
We can use more than one adjective before a noun. We do not usually have a long list of adjectives before a single noun. A noun is usually described by one, two , or three adjectives at the most. e.g. : an expensive Persian silk carpet.
There is usually one correct order.This is the normal order:
Opinion (how good?) : wonderful, nice, great, awful, terrible
Size (how big?) : large, small, long, short, tall
Adjectives that say how good and how big come first.
Most other qualities : quiet, famous, important, soft, wet, difficult, fast, angry, warm
Most adjectives come next if they do not belong to another group.
Age (how old?) : new, old
Colour : red, blue, green, black
Origin (where from?) : American, British, French
Material (made of?) : stone, plastic, steel, paper
Type (what kind?) : an electric kettle, political matters, road transport
Purpose (what for?) :a bread knife, a bath towel
Some of these are nouns.
Here are some examples.
a small green insect (size, colour)
Japanese industrial designers (origin, type)
a wonderful new face cream (opinion, age, purpose)
awful plastic souvenirs (opinion, material)
a long boring train journey (size, quality, type)
some nice easy quiz questions (opinion, quality, purpose)
a beautiful wooden picture frame (opinion, material, purpose)
We sometimes put commas between adjectives in Groups : a horrible, ugly building a busy, lively, exciting city
