Adjective Order
- Opinion: Expresses a judgment about the noun (e.g., lovely, beautiful, ugly).
- Size: Indicates the size of the noun (e.g., big, small, tiny).
- Age: Indicates the age (e.g., old, young, ancient).
- Shape: Describes the shape (e.g., round, square, oval).
- Color: Indicates the color (e.g., red, blue, green).
- Proper adjective: Indicates nationality, religion, or origin (e.g., French, American, Chinese).
- Material: Describes the material of the object (e.g., wooden, metal, plastic).
- Purpose: Indicates the use of the object (e.g., cooking, sleeping, writing).
- Adjective order example: "A lovely small old round red French wooden table"
