Adjective Before Noun

[Fırat]

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)


Here is an example with opinion and fact adjectives:

When we want to use two colour adjectives, we join them with "and":

* Many newspapers are black and white.
* She was wearing a long, blue and yellow dress.
