Adjective Word Order | Learn English about Adjectives Order

Hello students welcome back to the English Danny Channel. I am teacher Sara

so far we've learned about how to use more adjectives to improve our English

and how to compare things using adjectives today we're going to learn

about how to put adjectives in the correct order let's get started

have you ever been confused about how to describe something using several

adjectives when multiple adjectives come before a noun they have to be put in a

particular order for instance we say a fat old lady not

an old fat lady and a small shiny black leather bag not a leather black shiny

small bag the rules for adjectives word order are complicated but today we'll

talk about some of the most important rules first adjectives of color origin

or where something is from material or what something is made of and purpose or

what something is used for usually go in that order color origin material and

purpose let's take a look at some examples black Spanish leather hiking

boots a silver German beer mug a red silk scarf an Italian glass flower vase

an oak dinner table next other adjectives usually go before words of

color origin material and purpose adjectives of size shape length height

and age often come first let's look at some examples

the round glass table here we see the shape round comes before the material

number two a big modern brick house here we see the size and age come before the

material number three a tall ancient Cambodian temple here we see the height

and age come before the origin number four a long old english book here we see

the length and age before origin adjectives which express

judgments or attitudes usually come before other adjectives examples are

lovely definite pure absolute extreme perfect wonderful and silly here are

some examples number one a lovely long cool drink

number two who's that silly young man over there number three what a perfect

long warm summer day finally let's consider numbers numbers usually go

before all other adjectives for example we would say 6 large eggs and the second

big storm first next and last most often go before 1 2 3 and so on

for example the first three days and my last two jocks okay let's get some

practice I'm going to put three sentences with mistakes in them up on

the screen pause the video and try to fix the mistakes number one I have the

French black perfect dress number two have you seen those red old brick lovely

three houses number three the three last weeks were cold did you figure it out

now let's look at the correct sentences number one I have the perfect black

French dress number two have you seen those three lovely old red brick houses

and number three the last three weeks were cold in number one the word perfect

is a judgment which means it comes before all other maths we also list

color black before origin French in number two we see the number three which

comes first we also see the judgment word lovely which needs to come before

other nouns age old comes before color red which comes before material brick in

number three remember that we use words like first next and last before numbers
