ADJECTIVE ORDER
The use of adjectives is essential when trying to describe a noun or pronoun. Good writers and
speakers are able to use adjectives to create clear, mental images for the reader or listener. As you
continue to work on your English, don’t be afraid to use multiple adjectives to describe something.
Using more than three physically descriptive type adjectives in sequence to describe one noun or
pronoun would sound a little awkward. When using multiple adjectives in a sequence, you must
be aware of the correct adjective order.
Adjectives can be used to describe lots of things, from physical size, age, shape, colour,
material, to more abstract things like opinion, origin and purpose.
We can use adjectives together to give a detailed description of something.
Adjectives that express opinions usually come before all others, but it can sometimes depend on
what exactly you want to emphasize.
For example:
- "That's a nice, big, blue bag." (You like the bag.)
"- That's a nice blue." (You like the colour.)
When we group adjectives together there is a general (sometimes flexible) rule for the position
of each type of adjective, these are:-
Position 1st* 2nd* 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th
Opinion Size Age Shape Colour Material Origin Purpose
Nice Small Old Square Black Plastic British Racing
Ugly Big New Circular Blue Cotton American Running
You might swap adjectives that express an opinion and an adjective based on fact depending on
what you wish to emphasize:-
For example:
 "She had a long, ugly nose." emphasizing the length of her nose.
 "He was a silly, little man." emphasizing that the man was silly.
This is just for fun as you wouldn't normally see so many adjectives in one description.
For example:
 "She had a big, ugly, old, baggy, blue, stripy, cotton, British, knitting bag."
Here are some examples:
 "The interesting, small, rectangular, blue car is parked in my space."
 "I bought a beautiful, long, red, Italian, silk tie."
 "My father lives in a lovely, gigantic, ancient, brick house."
 "I have an annoying, small, circular, American, tin, alarm clock that wakes me up."
 "Let’s order a delicious, huge, rectangular, pepperoni pizza."
 "We all love our smart, petite, British teacher."
 "They all received several dazzling, small, ancient, gold coins."
 "She owns a stunning, large, old, brown dog named Boris."

You might swap adjectives that express an opinion and an adjective based on fact depending on what you wish to emphasize:- For example:  "She had a long, ugly nose." emphasizing the length of her nose.  "He was a silly, little man." emphasizing that the man was silly. This is just for fun as you wouldn't normally see so many adjectives in one description. For example:  "She had a big, ugly, old, baggy, blue, stripy, cotton, British, knitting bag." Here are some examples:  "The interesting, small, rectangular, blue car is parked in my space."  "I bought a beautiful, long, red, Italian, silk tie."  "My father lives in a lovely, gigantic, ancient, brick house."  "I have an annoying, small, circular, American, tin, alarm clock that wakes me up."  "Let’s order a delicious, huge, rectangular, pepperoni pizza."  "We all love our smart, petite, British teacher."  "They all received several dazzling, small, ancient, gold coins."  "She owns a stunning, large, old, brown dog named Boris."
