Hello! Will you explain how I can use the Order of adjectives? I know they come before the noun, but I don't know how I can use two or more together.
Thank you,
Marjantaj
 
Re: Order the Ajectives

It's pretty easy to search for "order of adjectives" on the internet. If you have any specific questions, ask them.
 
Re: Order the Ajectives

There are a number of schemes on the internet but none are hard and fast rules. The idea is the the adjective that is most intimately associated with the noun comes last. Then if there are still multiple adjectives, that same analysis is used again.

Dear MikeNewYork,
Thanks for explanation! Now will you tell me which one is correct: "big round eye" or "round big eye"?
Thanks!
