Order of Adjectives


How to order adjectives in English

In many languages, adjectives denoting attributes usually occur in a specific order. This order is usually Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin and Material.
For Example: 
  1. I love that really big old green antique car that always parked at the end of the street.
  2. My sister adopted a beautiful big white bulldog.
When there are two or more adjectives that are from the same group, the word and is placed between the two adjectives:
  1. The house is green and red.
  2. The library has old and new books.
When there are three or more adjectives from the same adjective group, place a comma between each of the coordinate adjectives:
  1. We live in the big green, white and red house at the end of the street.
  2. My friend lost a red, black and white watch.
A comma is not placed between an adjective and the noun.
