Question

pls tell me the order of adjectives

Answer 1

Answer:

The Order of Adjectives in English

When two or more adjectives are required to describe something, there is an established order for the adjectives. The order is generally as follows:

opinion

size

age

shape

colour

origin

material

purpose

The following example with eight adjectives is ordered correctly:

A lovely, large, antique, round, black, Spanish, wooden, mixing bowl

(These adjectives are modifying the noun bowl.)

opinion (lovely)

size (large)

age (antique)

shape (round)

colour (black)

origin (Spanish)

material (wooden)

purpose (mixing)

Note: Using two or more adjectives is called enumeration of adjectives.

Stick to the Order

Of course, it is extremely rare to describe something with eight adjectives. Enumeration of adjectives occurs most commonly with just two adjectives and occasionally three. Stick to the order. For example:

With two adjectives:

A lovely, mixing bowl

A black, wooden bowl

With three adjectives:

A large, round, mixing bowl

A lovely, antique, Spanish, wooden bowl

A Spanish, lovely, wooden bowl

(This is wrong because opinion (lovely) should precede origin (Spanish).)
