Order of Adjectives

Adjectives/Adverbs

Adjectives - word order: When there are two or more adjectives before a noun there are some complicated "rules" for the order in which they should appear. These are the most important:

opinion adjectives come before fact adjectives
fact adjectives appear as follows: size - age - colour - origin - material

Here are some examples:

a silly old man (an old silly man )
a beautiful blue butterfly (a blue beautiful butterfly )
an interesting historical film (a historical interesting film)
a huge metal box (a metal huge box )
a new red dress (a red new dress )
little Russian dolls (Russian little dolls )

Test yourself!
Put the adjectives in the correct order:

(1) Joe is a/an (American /young/tall) basketball star.
(2) I want to buy a (funny/red) mug for my brother for Christmas.
(3) My mother just bought a (blue/long/ beautiful) dress for herself.
(4) All my students are (smart/young/ British) girls.
(5)All I want for Christmas is a pair of (black / vintage / Italian / leather) boots.
(6) My teacher always gives (boring/long) lectures.
