Order of adjectives

1. We use adjectives to describe what people or things are like. An adjective can come either before a noun or after a verb.​

​

2. We can use more than one adjective to describe a noun. When we use two or more adjectives before a noun:

2.                   size

3.                   physical quality

8.                   material
