Grammar A2 - Adjective Order
In English, adjectives have a specific order when used together before a noun. The typical order is:
- Quantity or number
- Quality or opinion
- Size
- Age
- Shape
- Color
- Proper adjective (e.g., nationality, religion, etc.)
- Material
- Purpose or qualifier
Example:
Two large old round blue plastic balls.
Two (quantity), large (size), old (age), round (shape), blue (color), plastic(material), balls (noun).
This order helps to make the description sound more natural.
Examples:
Correct Order: A small round red ball.
Incorrect Order: A red small round ball.
