Hello students welcome back to the English Danny Channel. I am teacher Sara
so far we've learned about how to use more adjectives to improve our English
and how to compare things using adjectives today we're going to learn
about how to put adjectives in the correct order let's get started
have you ever been confused about how to describe something using several
adjectives when multiple adjectives come before a noun they have to be put in a
particular order for instance we say a fat old lady not
an old fat lady and a small shiny black leather bag not a leather black shiny
small bag the rules for adjectives word order are complicated but today we'll
talk about some of the most important rules first adjectives of color origin
or where something is from material or what something is made of and purpose or
what something is used for usually go in that order color origin material and
purpose let's take a look at some examples black Spanish leather hiking
boots a silver German beer mug a red silk scarf an Italian glass flower vase
an oak dinner table next other adjectives usually go before words of
color origin material and purpose adjectives of size shape length height
and age often come first let's look at some examples
the round glass table here we see the shape round comes before the material
number two a big modern brick house here we see the size and age come before the
material number three a tall ancient Cambodian temple here we see the height
and age come before the origin number four a long old english book here we see
the length and age before origin adjectives which express
judgments or attitudes usually come before other adjectives examples are
lovely definite pure absolute extreme perfect wonderful and silly here are
some examples number one a lovely long cool drink
number two who's that silly young man over there number three what a perfect
long warm summer day finally let's consider numbers numbers usually go
before all other adjectives for example we would say 6 large eggs and the second
big storm first next and last most often go before 1 2 3 and so on
for example the first three days and my last two jocks okay let's get some
practice I'm going to put three sentences with mistakes in them up on
the screen pause the video and try to fix the mistakes number one I have the
French black perfect dress number two have you seen those red old brick lovely
three houses number three the three last weeks were cold did you figure it out
now let's look at the correct sentences number one I have the perfect black
French dress number two have you seen those three lovely old red brick houses
and number three the last three weeks were cold in number one the word perfect
is a judgment which means it comes before all other maths we also list
color black before origin French in number two we see the number three which
comes first we also see the judgment word lovely which needs to come before
other nouns age old comes before color red which comes before material brick in
number three remember that we use words like first next and last before numbers
