order of adjectives

The position of adjectives in a sentence.

In English language, it is very important to put the adjective in the correct place.

​We place adjectives before the noun that they describe.

​​-A hot day

-A beautiful city

-A red ball

-A smart student

-Good girls

​In sentences with the verb to be, we place the adjective after the verb.

-Saly is beautiful.

-People are nice.

-The table is black.

It is very important to place the adjective in the correct order.​

​We often have two or more adjectives in front of a noun:

• ​a small red car

• ​the beautiful little girl

• ​four huge, green, plastic tables

• ​small, new, white, cotton dress
