Introduction to Order of Adjectives
In English, when multiple adjectives are used to describe a noun, they follow a particular order. Generally, the sequence is: quantity, quality, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. For example, in the phrase 'three beautiful large old round blue Italian ceramic vases,' the adjectives follow this order. Correct adjective placement enhances clarity and flow in descriptive writing.
