Adjectives Order
Sometimes we use two or more adjective together:
 My parents live in a nice new house.
 A dirty old black cat is wandering on the street.
A. “Opinion’ Adjectives
Adjectives like nice and dirty are opinion adjectives. They tell us what we think
about somebody or something.
B. “Fact” Adjectives
Adjectives like new, old, black are fact adjectives. They give us factual
information about age and colour.
Fact adjectives always go after opinion adjectives
Sometimes we use two or more fact adjectives. We put fact adjectives in this
order:
1. SIZE
: How big?
--> large, small, tiny, enormous
2. AGE
: How old?
--> new, young, old, ancient
3. SHAPE
: What shape?
--> square, round, rectangular, flat
4. COLOUR
: What colour?
--> blue, pink, yellow, crimson
5. ORIGIN
: Where from?
--> English, American, Chinese, French
6. MATERIAL : What is it made of? --> plastic, rubber, glass, wooden
7. PURPOSE
: What is it used for? --> racing car, frying pan, rocking chair
Example:
 An interesting old book
 A delicious round chocolate cake
 A nice small white Chinese laptop
 A new black French frying pan
