Word order
When you use more than one adjective before a noun, the adjectives are usually in the following order:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | noun | |
Your opinion about sb/sth | size | age | shape/ color | where sb/ sth is from | what sth is made of | specific type | ||
A | Nice | new | woollen | sweater | ||||
His | blue | naval | uniform | |||||
A | Serious | medical | problem | |||||
A | Lovely | big | American | car | ||||
That | tall | young | French | woman | ||||
A | Strange | triangular | stone | building | ||||
Her | Silly | little | teenage | brother |
|
Therefore say a little old man NOT an old little man
strange new ideas NOT new strange ideas
Note: same, whole, entire, only, next, last
If one of these adjectives comes in a series of adjectives before a noun, it should always come first, immediately after the identifier: the same stupid old jokes / the only serious problem / his next big political speech.
There are also signs of ‘zones within zones’. For example, people tend to say a beautiful new dress not a new beautiful dress, suggesting that evaluative adjectives in zone II precede other kinds of adjectives there. There is also a tendency to say a recognizable zig-zag pattern, suggesting that more abstract adjectives precede more concrete ones. But as the word ‘tend’ suggests, the rules are not hard and fast.

VI. Read the following newspaper adverts. Copy out all adjectives and fill in the table below.
1. Erase Boards
Dry erase boards work much better than the standard blackboard since you don’t need to get your hand all chalked up whenever you erase whatever’s written on it - not to mention the ugly and unergonomic design the blackboard eraser has, and this is where the Ultraser comes in. It is actually a plastic disc with a really large handle for easy erasing with a dry eraser underneath doing all the work. Sure looks like it has a bigger footprint to get rid of all the written “data” much faster though. Not to mention it makes a pretty good anti-talkative student projectile while you’re in class.

2. New gadgets
Intel has recently released sixteen new chips that incorporate the 45nm Hafnium-based high-k metal gate transistors which have been proven to be smaller, faster and more eco-friendly than previous generations. According to Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel, he thinks that this new process is a major breakthrough as the biggest transistor advancement in 40 years. In addition, this improvement is tipped to further extend Moore’s Law - at least for a little while longer when other folks thought that it is done and over with already.
3. Walt Disney goes for Japan
According to Reuters, the second biggest US entertainment company also known as Walt Disney, will attack the Japanese market next year with cellphones being their main attraction. Working in coordination with SoftBank, both companies will be producing cellphones and online content. Taking in consideration that Japan is a huge market that has top-notch mobile phones, the adventure in Asia has high chances of being a success, but on the other hand, the true Walt Disney fans are mostly children and teens, so it might not be that easy to succeed in Japan.
