The document outlines instructional objectives and content material for teaching students about adjectives. The objectives are to review student's prior knowledge of adjectives, teach them to properly order multiple adjectives in a sentence, and identify mistakes. Key points presented include the traditional types of adjectives, examples of incorrect adjective ordering, and the mnemonic "OPSHACOM" rule for the correct ordering of opinion, shape, age, color, origin, and material adjectives in a sentence. Teaching methods including inductive-deductive and structural approaches are discussed.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Conventionally we learn the above mentioned types of
adjectives (Quantitative, Qualitative etc.). But we commit
mistakes when many different types of adjectives are used in
a sentence. e.g.‘Mohan had an old nice book.’: What
mistake is committed in this sentence?
Check out some more sentences.
 My black new bicycle is stolen.- new black bicycle.
 Harish bought an old nice Gujarati book. -nice old Gujarati book.
 I have a red round rubber ball.-round red rubber ball.
We often make mistakes in placing adjectives at proper
place. So it is necessary to learn the correct order or
sequence of the adjectives to be written in a sentence. Let us
ldiscuss then about the order of adjectives.
