Order adjectives

Key Notes:

🌟 Order of Adjectives 🌟

👉 When we use two or more adjectives to describe a noun, they must be in a special order.

📝 Order of Adjectives (OSASCOMP Rule)

1️⃣ O – Opinion (what you think) → beautiful, ugly, nice, boring 💭
2️⃣ S – Size → big, small, tiny, huge 📏
3️⃣ A – Age → old, young, new, ancient ⏳
4️⃣ S – Shape → round, square, flat, long 🔵⬛
5️⃣ C – Colour → red, blue, green, yellow 🎨
6️⃣ O – Origin → Indian, American, French, African 🌍
7️⃣ M – Material → wooden, plastic, cotton, metal 🪵🪙
8️⃣ P – Purpose (what it’s used for) → sleeping (bag), running (shoes), cooking (pot) 🎒👟🍳

✨ Examples:

• She bought a beautiful (opinion) small (size) red (colour) Indian (origin) silk (material) saree (noun). 👗
• He lives in an old (age) round (shape) wooden (material) house (noun). 🏠
• I need a new (age) black (colour) running (purpose) shoe (noun). 👟

🎯 Golden Rule:

• Adjectives go in this order, but don’t use too many!
• Usually 2–3 adjectives are enough to sound natural. 🌼
