Editor's Notes
Let us recall the meaning of adjectives?
Could any one can define adjective, again?
An adjective is a word that describes the traits, qualities, or number of a noun or pronoun.
What are examples of adjectives?
This shop is much nicer.
She wore a beautiful dress.
Ben is an adorable baby.
Linda's hair is gorgeous.
Now, let us study these phrases
Each item is described by more than one adjective. Do you notice how the adjectives are arranged?
So why is adjective order important?
For clear communication, it is probably better not to use an endless stream of adjectives.
What is the order of adjectives in a sentence?
In a sentence, the determiner always comes first. This is followed by the quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material and purpose/qualifier of the noun being described.
Today we will going to discuss the lesson about Order of Adjective.
It is very common to use more than one adjective before a noun in a sentence. Remember, when we use more than one adjective before a noun, we need to put them in right order, according to their type.
In a sentence, the determiner always comes first. This is followed by the quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material and purpose/qualifier of the noun being described.
Let us take a look this table, this is the following arrangement of adjectives in a series.
And we have here different kinds of adjectives.
There are some words you may not even realize are adjectives. These are called determiners, and they come first in the sentence. This includes:
Articles (a, an, the)
Possessives (my, your, etc.)
Demonstratives (this, that)
Again, these is what we call the limiting Adjectives.
Next is Number, we have Quantifiers (many, few, some, any)
Numbers (one, two)
A size adjective, of course, tells you how big or small something is.
For example: large, tiny, enormous, little
A shape adjective describes the shape of something.
For example: square, round, flat, rectangular
Adjectives of Quality are words that tell us about the kind or qualities of a person or thing being talked about. Such adjectives include, nice, beautiful, excellent, kind
An age adjective tells you how young or old something or someone is.
For example: ancient, new, young, old
A color adjective, of course, describes the color of something.
For example: blue, pink, reddish, gray
An origin adjective describes where something comes from.
For example: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek
A material adjective – describes what the noun is made of.
Example: metal, cotton, silk, plastic, wooden
These are the examples of adjectives.
In a sentence, the determiner always comes first. This is followed by the quantity or opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material and purpose/qualifier of the noun being described.
Let us try these..
