ADJECTIVE WORD ORDER
http://esl.about.com
When using more than one adjective to describe a noun, write the adjectives in the following
order before the noun.
NOTE: We usually use no more than three adjectives preceding a noun.
1. Opinion
Example: an interesting book, a boring lecture
2. Size
Example: a big apple, a thin wallet
3. Age
Example: a new car, a modern building, an ancient ruin
4. Shape
Example: a square box, an oval mask, a round ball
5. Color
Example: a pink hat, a blue book, a black coat
6. Nationality
Example: some Italian shoes, a Canadian town, an American car
7. Material
Example: a wooden box, a woolen sweater, a plastic toy
Here are some examples of nouns modified with three adjectives in the correct order based
on the list above. Notice that the adjectives are not separated by commas.
• A wonderful old Italian clock. (opinion - age - origin)
• A big square blue box. (dimension - shape - color)
• A disgusting pink plastic ornament. (opinion - color - material)
• Some slim new French trousers. (dimension - age - origin)
