English Grammar - Cumulative Adjective Order
In English, adjectives must be in the correct order for a sentence to make sense. When ordered correctly you can string many adjectives together to make interesting, descriptive sentences. The order is:
1- Quantity
2- Opinion
3- Size
4- Age
5- Shape
6- Colour
7- Origin
8- Material
9- Purpose
...and then you add the noun.
NB: Opinion, age and size can sometimes change place depending on what you want to emphasise – if it feels right try it and ask for corrections from native English speakers.
