Order Of Adjectives
As I told you, in order to make our essays more interesting and richer, we use a number of adjectives and adverbs. When we want to use more than one adjective to describe a noun, we must follow an specific order.
So instead of just saying: "I want to buy a fast car"., we could say: "I want to buy a fast, beautiful, big, brand-new, black and red, French car."
However, we don't normally use that many adjectives to describe a noun, because it would be excessive. Use just two or three!! and keep the order!!
Remember! we write commas in between the adjectives, but NOT in between the adjective and the noun. Should we use two adjectives from the same column, we write "and" in between, as in "black and red".
Here you can have a look at this order and some examples and then do some exercises: Order of adjectives
