Adjective

Adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.

• Adjectives are invariable: They do not change their form depending on the gender or number of the noun.
• Where a number of adjectives are used together, the order depends on the function of the adjective. The usual order is: Value/opinion, Size, Age/Temperature, Shape, Colour, Origin, Material. However, this is not strictly followed.

Examples

• He is a lonely man (Quality)
• This clock is German (Origin)
• My coat is very old (Age)
• This is a very long film (Size)
• He wore a red shirt (Colour)
• A square envelope (Shape)
• Grammar is boring (Judgement)
