Types of Adjectives  

Types of Adjectives
Adjectives are defined as words that modify a noun. They are those words that give us some information about the noun. They can tell us about the colour, appearance, quality, material, origin, etc. related to the noun. Many a times, we use more than one adjective at a time to describe the noun. It becomes very important then, to order them accurately. There are several rules or guidelines that govern the order of adjectives in the English language. There’s a general order that we always follow while using multiple adjectives together. The order of adjectives is given below:
Opinion: An opinion adjective is the one that comes the first in the order of adjectives in a sentence. They express your thinking or opinion about the noun. For example: silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult, ugly, delicious, lovely, nice, cool, hot, smelly, etc.
Size: Adjectives giving information about the size comes next after the opinion adjectives. They tell us about the size, i.e. how big or small the noun is. For example: big, small, tiny, enormous, huge, little, tall, long, etc.
Age: These adjectives tell us about how young or old the noun is. For example: antique, new, old, ancient, young, etc.
Condition: Next comes the adjective that informs us about the condition of the noun. These adjectives are sometimes confused with the opinion adjectives but the key thing to remember here is that opinion adjectives may or may not be tangible or visible to others as they are subjective to one’s nature, whereas condition adjectives are seen in the same manner by everyone as they describe the actual condition or the position of the noun, and not one’s own personal opinion about it. For example: ugly, clean, well-kept, wet, rich, hungry, etc.
