Understanding the Order of Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. When using multiple adjectives to describe a single noun, there is a specific order they should follow. Typically, the correct order is quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. For example, in the phrase 'a beautiful small old round red Italian ceramic coffee table,' the adjectives follow this order. Pay close attention to the placement of adjectives in each sentence below.
