Today in my class we focused on the grammer of adjective order. I will write it down below to remember for myself.



Adjective order;

opinion/size/age/shape/colour/origin/material/purpose



opinion;handsome,beautiful

age;new, young,old





for example;
a small thin Canadian lady
a new steel carving knife
a beautiful blue sailing boat
an old square wooden table
an exciting new French band
a big red plastic hat
a small Japanese serving bowl
a dirty old cotton tie
a small round reading lamp
an old yellow German car
a huge wooden sailing ship
an old Physics boring teacher
a handsome slim Canadian snowborder
a round blue suger bowl
