Adjective order (BBC Learners' Questions)
source: BBC Learning English 2017年3月17日
Belen in Spain asks: "Which is the correct order for adjectives?"
When using two or more adjectives together, the order is important.
# Adjectives are put in the following order:
opinion, size, quality, age, shape, colour, participle forms, origin, material type and purpose
It's a beautiful old Indian carpet.
Joining Adjectives
We can join 2 adjectives from the same group together using and:
It's a beautiful old red and green Indian carpet.
We can join two contradictory adjectives together using but:
It's an old but expensive Indian carpet.
Similar meaning
If two adjectives have a similar meaning, the shorter one goes first:
It's a soft, comfortable chair.
