B. Presentation
In English, it is common to use more than one adjective before a noun - for
example, "He's a silly young fool," or "she's a smart, energetic woman." When
you use more than one adjective, you have to put them in the right order,
according to type. These are the different types of adjectives and the correct
order for them.
