Module 1 Grammar - order adjectives. González Romero Wind

Order of adjectives 


When more than one adjective cometases before a noun, the adjectives are normally in a particular order. Adjectives which describe opinions or attitudes (e.g. amazing) usually come first, before more neutral, factual ones (e.g. red). 
If we don’t want to emphasise any one of the adjectives, the most usual sequence of adjectives is:


For example:
-I love that really big old green antique car that always parked at the end of the street.
-My sister adopted a beautiful big white bulldog.

When there are two or more adjectives that are from the same group, the word and is placed between the two adjectives:

-The house is green and red.
-The library has old and new 

More examples:

1.-I love that really old big green antique car that always parked at the end of the street. [quality – age – size – color – proper adjective]
2.-My sister has a big, beautiful, tan and white, bulldog. [size – quality – color – color]
3.-A wonderful old Italian clock. [opinion – age – origin]
4.-A big square blue box. [dimension – shape – color]
5.-A disgusting pink plastic ornament. [opinion – color – material]
6.-Some slim new French trousers. [dimension – age – origin]
7.-A wonderful old brithish clock. [opinion – age – origin]
.-I bought a pair of brown leather shoes. [color – material]
