Answers
Answer:
We use adjectives to describe nouns. We often use more than one adjective.
Adjective after "be"
We can put the adjective after "be". We can use two adjectives with "and", and commas with three or more:
The house is big.
These houses are big and white.
Those houses are big, old and white.
Adjective before the noun
We put the adjective before the noun:
when the adjective describes the function of the noun
"swimming pool" (not "pool swimming")
when we use the adjective without be:
"The man has short hair". (not "The man has hair short".)
"I bought the small computer". (not "I bought the computer small".)
More than one adjective
We usually put more than one adjective in a specific order. We don’t need to use commas if we use the adjectives before the noun:
It is a big old white house. (not "It is a white big old house.")
Examples:
"He has short brown hair." (not "He has brown short hair.")
"She uses a small silver computer." (not "She uses a silver small computer.")
"My hotel has a lovely big swimming pool." (not "My hotel has a big lovely pool swimming.")
