<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conventional Order of Adjectives&nbsp;</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>There is a specific sequence for adjectives in sentences.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>This is called the conventions <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/order-of-adjectives">order of adjectives</a>. </li>



<li>It is the order in which adjectives are placed if there are more than one type of adjective.&nbsp;</li>



<li>The order is quite long and there are some variations here and there.&nbsp;</li>



<li>So as a rule of thumb, pay attention to the following:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Number / Quantity comes first&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Hot</strong>, two red egg muffins. (Wrong)&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Two</strong>, hot egg muffins. (Right)&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Opinion adjectives (quality) comes before fact adjectives.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A green <strong>pretty</strong> dress. (Wrong)&nbsp;</li>



<li>A <strong>pretty</strong> green dress. (Right)&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><em>You can prove that the jacket is blue. Thus, it is a fact. But some people might think it is pretty and some might think it is not. It is an opinion. That is how they view its quality.</em>&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Examples:&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A mystery <strong>exciting </strong> novel.&nbsp; (Wrong)&nbsp;</li>



<li>An <strong>exciting</strong>&nbsp; mystery novel. (Right)&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Fact:</strong> Adjectives usually follow the order: size, shape, age, color, origin, material, etc.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Examples:&nbsp;</h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The tiny, new, wooden kitchen table.&nbsp;</li>



<li>A big, blue, plastic ball.&nbsp;</li>



<li>The big, heavy, dusty book hadn&#8217;t been opened in years.&nbsp;</li>



<li>It was made of a thin, blue, copper material.&nbsp;</li>



<li>It’s a long, narrow, wooden paddle.&nbsp;</li>



<li>This is an oval, Spanish, bread-like Christmas cake.&nbsp;</li>



<li>That is a beautiful, petite, old, Russian furniture.&nbsp;</li>
