It then presents the standard order of adjectives as Origin, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Purpose. Examples are given to illustrate each type of adjective.

2. Adjectives are words that express qualities and
characteristics of of a person or object
By instace:
My new red car is what i was looking for!
New: This adjective let us know that the car has just been bought.
Red: This adjective let us know what is the color of the car.

3. In English, even if we can put adjectives
after the person or object that they are
qualifying , it is better to put them before
the adjective, because it sounds better for
native speakers and it is the way they use it
most of the time:
My house is big and old.
My big old house.
