Adjectives are words that give more information about a noun or pronoun and can go in different positions in a sentence.

adjectives order

When more than one adjective comes before a noun, the adjectives are normally in a particular order.However, it's very rare to use more than three adjectives before a noun. Second, sometimes the order can be changed, usually to emphasise something.

It is possible to use many adjectives to describe something. If so, in English, adjectives follow an order:

  1. Opinion: amazing, charming
  2. Size: tiny, huge
  3. Age: youthful, elderly
  4. Shape: oval, square
  5. Colour: red, gold
  6. Origin: French, Japanese
  7. Material: wooden, glass, plastic.
  8. Purpose: dressing, as in a dressing room; sewing, as in a sewing machine
