3. Correct Order of Adjectives
• You already know, that an adjective is a describing word.
• An adjective can come before or after the word that is describing.
• In English it is common to use several adjectives to describe a noun or pronoun.
Examples:
The old, wise father didn’t want to break his daughter’s heart. The father was old and wise.
