Sometimes we need to use more than one adjective when we describe. But...Do you know that adjectives have a certain order?
Opinion | An opinion adjective explains what you think about something (other people may not agree with you). For example: silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult |
---|---|
Size | A size adjective, of course, tells you how big or small something is. For example: large, tiny, enormous, little |
Age | An age adjective tells you how young or old something or someone is. For example: ancient, new, young, old |
Shape | A shape adjective describes the shape of something. For example: square, round, flat, rectangular |
Colour | A colour adjective, of course, describes the colour of something. For example: blue, pink, reddish, grey |
Origin | An origin adjective describes where something comes from. For example: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek |
Material | A material adjective describes what something is made from. For example: wooden, metal, cotton, paper |
