This document discusses the order and use of commas with adjectives in English. It provides the following general rules: 1) There is usually a correct order to multiple adjectives before a noun, with opinion and other qualities coming before size, age, shape, color, origin, and material. 2) Adjectives within the same category are separated by commas, such as "horrible, ugly building." 3) When adjectives are not in the same category, commas are not used, such as "wonderful new face cream." Commas are also normally used between the last two colors or classifying adjectives.

1. ADJECTIVES (order)
We can use more than one adjective before a noun and there is usually a correct order. However, in spoken English we don't usually use more
than two adjectives together, but in written English we don't usually use more than three.
In opinions and most other qualities we use a comma. This means that the adjectives are in the same category.
• This horrible, ugly building needs to be renovated.
• Today I bought a really cheap, colourful outfit.
• An elegant, charming, handsome man sat opposite her.
• Two beautiful, soft, comfortable cushions were elegantly placed on the sofa.
REMEMBER: When two or more adjectives aren't in the same category, we don't use commas.
• This is a wonderful new face cream.
• We live in a lovely old Victorian building.
• He looks good in that sporty red leather jacket.
• I love wearing my little black dress.
However, we normally use and between the last two adjectives in a set of colours or the last two classifying adjectives of the same type.
• I've lost my red, green and white scarf.
• Sharon loves Spanish, Italian and Greek food.
• What are the cultural, religious and historic origins of this current conflict?
• Barcelona is a busy, lively and exciting city.
