Study Notes

Adjective Order

Adjectives follow a specific order in English to sound natural.
The order can be remembered with the acronym "OSASCOMP":
- Opinion (e.g., beautiful, awful)
- Size (e.g., huge, tiny)
- Age (e.g., old, new)
- Shape (e.g., round, square)
- Color (e.g., red, blue)
- Origin (e.g., Spanish, Swedish)
- Material (e.g., leather, plastic)
- Purpose (e.g., shopping, automatic)
If there are multiple adjectives within the same category, they are usually ordered from most general to most specific (e.g. big, cloth, shopping bag).
Not all adjectives are always used in a sentence, order depends on the specific sentence.
While "OSASCOMP" is a helpful guide, it's important to practice applying it to various situations, especially when multiple adjectives are used.
The order isn't rigid and can vary depending on the context and the speaker's emphasis.
