Order of Adjectives

Introduction

Hi Grammarians! Today, we will be reviewing how we list adjectives when we are trying to use many words to describe one item. 

You may ask yourself... why do English speakers organize their adjectives? Well, some say that we organize our adjectives by importance. The least important thing goes first followed by the most important adjective closest to the thing it is describing. This isn't ALWAYS true, but English can be tricky sometimes!

Visual

Adjectives, writes the author, professional stickler Mark Forsyth, “absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife.
