Notes - Order of adjective

How to order adjectives in English?

In many languages, adjectives denoting attributes usually occur in a specific order. Generally, the adjective order in English is: 

1. Quantity or number
2. Quality or opinion
3. Size
4. Age
5. Shape
6. Colour
7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
8. Purpose or qualifier

When there are two or more adjectives that are from the same group, the word and is placed between the two adjectives:

1. The house is green and red.
2. The library has old and new books.

When there are three or more adjectives from the same adjective group, place a comma between each of the coordinate adjectives:

1. We live in the big green, white and red house at the end of the street.
2. My friend lost a red, black and white watch.

Examples:

1. A disgusting pink plastic ornament. [opinion – color – material]
2. Some slim new French trousers. [dimension – age – origin]
3. A wonderful old Italian clock. [opinion – age – origin]
4. I bought a pair of black leather shoes. [color – material]
5. My sister has a big, beautiful, tan and white, bulldog. [size – quality – colour – colour]
