Introduction to the Order of Adjectives
In English, multiple adjectives describing a noun usually follow a specific order: quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. For example, in the phrase "a lovely small old round red Italian leather Italian purse," adjectives are arranged according to these categories. Understanding this order helps in both writing and analyzing descriptive sentences for clarity and correctness.
