Adjectives
Firstly – what’s an adjective?
An adjective is a describing word.
The word which describes a noun –
a thing. So that includes all colours,
size, opinion, origin etc.
DID YOU KNOW...
…that in English the order of
adjectives is really clear, & although
we might not be aware of the rule, if
someone uses them out of order it
sounds really weird!
The order we use in English is as
follows:
Opinion; size; physical condition;
shape, age, colour, origin, material,
purpose.

So we can have an unusual, big, dirty,
round, old, black, French, wooden
coffee table.
Try saying them out of order
– it just doesn’t sound right!
