time. However, to avoid confusion and clumsiness, a
noun modified by more than three adjectives is not
recommended. The general rule for the order of the
different adjectives:-
Nature of adjective | Colour | Origin | Material | Purpose | Noun |
Example | Black | Italian | cotton | casual | wear |
Note:
a. Adjectives not belong to the above categories
come before colour adjectives.
e.g. a big yellow cat with large green eyes.
e.g. a powerful brown sleeping pill.
b. First, last and next come before numbers.
e.g. Her first two husbands are expatriates.
e.g. In the next three days he could not sleep or eat.
