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!
