ORDER OF ADJECTIVES


 The order of adjectives before a noun is usually the following:

Opinion – Size – Age – Shape – Color – Origin – Material – Purpose

If we take the first letter of each one, it creates OSASCOMP which is an easy way to remember the order.

Let’s look at an example about describing a bag.

  • It is an ugly small old thin red Italian cotton sleeping bag
