Order adjectives
Key Notes :
1. What are Adjectives?
- Adjectives are words that describe a noun (a person, place, thing, or animal).
- They tell us what kind, how many, or which one about the noun.
2. What Does “Order of Adjectives” Mean?
- When using more than one adjective to describe a noun, there is a specific order to follow.
- This order helps the sentence sound natural and correct.
3. The Order of Adjectives:
Adjectives usually follow this order:
- Number (how many?)
- Example: two cars
- Opinion (what do you think about it?)
- Example: beautiful flowers
- Size (how big or small?)
- Example: large box
- Age (how old?)
- Example: new shoes
- Shape (what shape?)
- Example: round table
- Color (what color?)
- Example: blue sky
- Origin (where is it from?)
- Example: French bread
- Material (what is it made of?)
- Example: wooden chair
4. Examples of Correct Adjective Order:
- Three big red apples
- (number – size – color)
- Beautiful long blue dress
- (opinion – size – color)
- Small round wooden table
- (size – shape – material)
5. Remember:
- The correct order of adjectives is important to make sentences sound right.
- The order is: Number → Opinion → Size → Age → Shape → Color → Origin → Material.
