Here is the most common order of adjectives in English, though the order of adjectives of size, shape, age and colour can change:
opinion |
size |
shape |
age |
colour |
origion |
material |
purpose or type |
noun |
nice |
big |
round |
old |
blue |
French |
glass |
fruit |
bowl |
1. Variation is possible when we focus on a particular feature:
- a round black shape ( = normal order)
- a black round shape ( = focus on colour)
2. We use a comma when there are two or more adjectives of equal importance before a noun:
- The room was full of cold, hungry children.
3. We link the adjectives with and when they come after verbs like be and feel:
- He was tall, dark and handsome.
He was tall, dark, handsome.
- The children felt cold and hungry.
- The house was large and impressive.
4. We can put a comma or and between two adjectives that describe someone's character:
- We had a clever and imaginative teacher.
- We had a clever, imaginative teacher.
5. When we use two or more colour adjectives before a noun, we put and between them:
- They own a red and white car.
- They were waving a blue, white and red flag.
They were waving a blue, white, red flag.
