| ]Adjective Ordere]
There are 2 basic positions for adjectives:
1. before the noun
2. after certain verbs (be, become, get, seem, look, feel, sound, smell, taste)
adj. noun verb adj.
1 I like big cars.
2 My car is big.
In this lesson we look at the position of adjectives in a sentence, followed
by a quiz to check your understanding:
· Adjective before noun
· Adjective after certain verbs
· Adjective order quiz
]Adjective Before Noun[
We sometimes use more than one adjective before the noun:
· I like big black dogs.
· She was wearing a beautiful long red dress.
What is the correct order for two or more adjectives?
1. The general order is: opinion, fact:
· a nice French car (not a French nice car)
("Opinion" is what you think about something. "Fact" is what is definitely
true about something.)
2. The normal order for fact adjectives is size, age, shape, colour, material,
origin:
· a big, old, square, black, wooden Chinese table
3. Determiners usually come first, even though they are fact adjectives:
· articles (a, the)
· possessives (my, your...)
· demonstratives (this, that...)
· quantifiers (some, any, few, many...)
· numbers (one, two, three)
