The Order of Adjectives in English

There are 8 types of adjectives and if we want to use more than one we need to use them in the correct order:
 

1. Opinion:   good, bad, funny, interesting
    
2. Size:   big small, tall, short
    
3. Shape:   square, triangular, round
    
4. Age:   old, young, new
    
5. Color:   red, blue, black
    
6. Nationality or origin:   English, American, Japanese 
    
7. Material:   wooden, metal, plastic
    
8. Purpose:   (adjectives that are part of the noun) baseball cap, football shirt, convertible car

 
Note: From time to time you will find an adjective that doesn’t fall in any of these categories. In this case it’s just important to know that you put opinion before fact, for example:
 
✘ A sunny lovely day in the park

✔ A lovely sunny day in the park 

Because my opinion is that it’s lovely. Sunny is a fact. 

✘ A new interesting film on dinosaurs

✔ An interesting new film on dinosaurs

I know there is a lot of information here, but just know that we almost never use more than 3 adjectives together so it's not that bad! Here are some other examples: 

✘ An old stone big house

✔ A big old stone house 

Big and old often come together so you should't need think of the order of adjectives when using these two adjectives. Just learn them together, "big old".

 
✘ A French young beautiful woman

✔ A beautiful young French woman

Again, beautiful and young are adjectives that often go together.

 
✘ A plastic orange tiny cup

✔ A tiny orange plastic cup

Size and colour are adjectives that often go together. Remember that size always goes before the colour.
