Here's a question why do native speakers say a big red bus and not a red big bus
or a bus red big find out why and find out how you can always say it right and
sound like a native speaker with this one simple easy trick
I'm Deirdre Nicholas from palm tree teaching TV your personal English
language coach as you know I'd love to give you tips and techniques on how to
speak English more easily and sound more like a native speaker and there are
certain little tricks and tips that you can use that will help you on your road
to becoming a better English speaker and one of these is to get the right order
of adjectives when you're speaking getting this right will make you sound
much more natural and fluent so just listen to this example a cotton pink
pretty dress does that sound right not really that's not the language that
we would use as a native speaker and to a native speaker would sound odd instead
we would automatically say a pretty pink cotton dress
now native speakers do this without thinking but you can do it too it's
really easy to get right this is how you do it in English as you probably know
adjectives go in a particular order and they're followed by a noun generally we
would use one two or a maximum of three adjectives plus a noun but generally
only about two so we would start with an opinion first of all the general opinion
about the noun that you're describing such as lovely nice awful and then a
more specific opinion if it's food you would use something like delicious or
tasty and if it's a person something like intelligent or friendly so you
could say yesterday I met a lovely intelligent lady then we would say sighs
something like big small or tall so that lady can now be a lovely intelligent
tall lady the next adjectives in the order is shape so round fat rectangular
square and the next adjective that we would use
is conditioned so something like rusty dirty good then we would say the age of
the noun so old young youthful so before I talk about what comes after age don't

fluent then please email me on deirdre at palm tree teaching calm and I'll put
the link underneath the video I'd love to hear from you so after that in our
adjective order comes color so red green blue and so on then in our adjective
order comes the origin so where it is from for example English Turkish Indian
so we could say in the shop window was a new green English umbrella and then the
type of material such as cotton wood and lastly we would use an adjective to
describe the purpose of the noun such as perhaps cooking or cleaning so let's try
some sentences he was a nice handsome young man so nice is the general opinion
handsome is a more specific opinion this case related to men or people but
particularly men young obviously is the age and followed by the noun or it's a
little red Italian sports car so this is the size little color in this case red
origin is Italian and the noun is sports car so if you're a learner or a teacher
all you need to do to sound much more natural in the way
speak English is to learn the order of the adjectives is that easy it's a
