Adjective.pptx
What is an adjective?
An adjective is a word that describes something (a noun).
An adjective gives us more information about a person or thing.
Correct order of adjectives
Adjectives sometimes appear after the verb To Be (CARD – LINK TO VIDEO)
The order is To Be + Adjective.
• He is tall.
• She is happy.
Adjectives sometimes appear before a noun.
The order is Adjective + Noun.
• Slow car
• Brown hat
BUT… Sometimes you want to use more than one adjective to describe something (or someone).
What happens if a hat is both brown AND old?
Do we say… an old brown hat OR a brown old hat?
An old brown hat is correct because a certain order for adjectives is expected.
A brown old hat sounds incorrect or not natural.
So what is the correct order of adjectives before a noun?
The order of adjectives before a noun is usually the following:
Opinion – Size – Age – Shape – Color – Origin – Material – Purpose
If we take the first letter of each one, it creates OSASCOMP which is an easy way to remember the order.
Let’s look at an example about describing a bag.
• It is an ugly small old thin red Italian cotton sleeping bag
It is not common to have so many adjectives before a noun, but I do this so you can see the correct order of adjectives.
Ugly is an opinion, small is a size, old refers to age, thin refers to shape, red is a color, Italian refers to its origin, cotton refers to the material the bag is made of, sleeping is the purpose of the bag.
I will go into more details about each of these categories in a moment. First, let’s see two more examples:
• A beautiful long white French silk wedding dress.
• Large ancient Greek clay flower vases.
Let’s study the first one.
Here we have a dress. Dress is a noun, the name of a thing. Let’s describe this dress.
What type of dress is it? What is the purpose of this dress?
It is used for weddings so it is…
• a wedding dress.
Let’s image the dress is made of silk. It isn’t made of plastic or gold, it is made of silk.
Silk is a material so it goes before the purpose. We say it is:
• a silk wedding dress.
Now, this dress was made in France. France is a noun, its adjective is French.
Its origin is French. Its origin, French, goes before the material, Silk. So we say it is:
• a French silk wedding dress.
Let’s add the color of the dress. What color is it? White. Color goes before Origin so we say it is:
• a white French silk wedding dress.
What is the shape of this dress? Is it long or short? It is long. The adjective Long goes under the category of shape because shape also covers weight or length. (We will see more about this in a moment) We now say it is:
• a long white French silk wedding dress.
Let’s add one more adjective. Is the dress beautiful or ugly? Well, you should always say it is beautiful or it will ruin her wedding day.
Beautiful is an opinion and adjectives about opinions go before all the other adjective.
Adjectives diana
Adjectives can be used to describe lots of things, from physical size, age, shape, color, material, to more abstract things like opinion, origin and purpose.
POSITION OF ADJECTIVES
Adjectives can be used to describe physical characteristics, opinions, origins, and purposes of nouns. They typically precede nouns and are ordered with opinion adjectives first, followed by size, age, shape, color, material, origin, and purpose. While this order is recommended, it is not absolutely necessary and the order can be adjusted based on what aspect you want to emphasize. Adjectives are usually separated by commas when multiple adjectives precede a noun.

Adjectives can be used to describe physical characteristics, opinions, origins, and purposes of nouns. They typically precede nouns and are ordered with opinion adjectives first, followed by size, age, shape, color, material, origin, and purpose. While strict ordering is not always necessary, rearranging adjectives can change the emphasis of a description. Adjectives usually precede nouns but can follow in some cases such as idioms or for emphasis in poetry. When multiple adjectives precede a noun, they are separated by commas, except for the last two if they indicate color which are separated by "and."

Adjective order
- 1. Faculta de Ciencias de la Educación Humanas y tecnologías Escuela de Idiomas Names: Patricia Vinueza Susana Novillo Ronald Marroquin
- 3. 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.
- 4. 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.
- 5. 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.)
- 6. Position 1st* 2nd* 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Opinion Size Age Shape Colour MaterialOrigin Purpose Nice Small Old Square Black Plastic British Racing Ugly Big New Circular Blue Cotton America n Running
- 7. 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.
- 8. For example: "She had a big, ugly, old, baggy, blue, stripy, cotton, British, knitting bag."
- 9. 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."
