Order adjectives
Key Notes:
When we use more than one adjective to describe a noun, they must follow a specific order.
Example: ✅ She wore a beautiful long red silk dress.
| Correct Order of Adjectives |
Use this sequence when placing multiple adjectives before a noun:
| Order | Type of Adjective | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Opinion (what you think) | beautiful, smart, boring |
| 2️⃣ | Size | big, tiny, large |
| 3️⃣ | Age | old, young, new |

| 8️⃣ | Purpose (why it is used) | sleeping bag, racing car, school shoes |
