Sometimes we use more than one adjective in 
front of a noun: 
He was a nice intelligent young man. 
She had a small round black wooden box. 
Opinion adjectives: 
Some adjectives give a general opinion. We 
can use these adjectives to describe almost 
any noun:
good bad lovely strange 
beautiful nice brilliant excellent 
awful important wonderful nasty 
Some adjectives give a specific opinion. We only use these adjectives to 
describe particular kinds of noun: 
Food: tasty; delicious 
Furniture, buildings: comfortable; uncomfortable 
People, animals: clever; intelligent; friendly 
We usually put a general opinion in front of a specific opinion: 
Nice tasty soup. 
A nasty uncomfortable armchair 
A lovely intelligent animal 
Usually we put an adjective that gives an opinion in front of an adjective 
that is descriptive: 
a nice red dress; a silly old man; those horrible yellow curtains
We often have two adjectives in front of a 
noun: 
a handsome young man; a big black car; that 
horrible big dog 
Sometimes we have three adjectives, but this 
is unusual: 
a nice handsome young man; 
a big black American car; 
that horrible big fierce dog 
It is very unusual to have more than 
three adjectives.
In many languages, adjectives denoting attributes usually 
occur in a specific order. Generally, the adjective order in 
English is: 
Quantity or number 
Quality or opinion 
Size 
Age 
Shape 
Color 
Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or 
material) 
Purpose or qualifier 
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.
Adjectives can be used to describe lots of 
things, from physical size, age, shape, colour, 
material, to more abstract things like opinion, 
origin and purpose. 
We can use adjectives together to give a 
detailed description of something. 
Adjectives that express opinions usually come 
before all others, but it can sometimes 
depend on what exactly you want to 
emphasise.
For example: 
"That's a nice, big, blue bag." (You like the 
bag.) 
"That's a nice blue." (You like the colour.) 
When we group adjectives together there is a 
general (sometimes flexible) rule for the 
position of each type of adjective, these are
