    NOUNS

    A noun is a word used to name a person, place, or thing. It is one of parts of a sentence.

    ADJECTIVES
    It is said that the adjective is the enemy of the noun. That may be true, but adjectives are
    still very useful words. They add information to a sentence, and tell us more about
    nouns and pronouns.
    Adjective Order
    There are 2 basic positions for adjectives:
    1. before the noun
    2. after certain verbs (be, become, get, seem, look, feel, sound, smell, taste)

    adjective noun verb adjective


    1 I like big cars. J
    C My car is big.

    Adjective before Noun


    We sometimes use more than one adjective before the noun:
    • I like big black dogs.

    • She was wearing a beautiful long red dress.

    What is the correct order for two or more adjectives?

    1. The general order is: opinion, fact:


    • a nice French car (not 'a French nice car')

    ('Opinion' is what you think about something. 'Fact' is what is definitely true about
    something.)

    2. The normal order for fact adjectives is size, age, shape, colour, material,
    origin:
    • a big, old, square, black, wooden Chinese table

    Here is an example with opinion and fact adjectives:
