Adjective Order

In English, it is common to use more than one adjective before a noun - for example, "He's a silly young fool," or "she's a smart, energetic woman." When you use more than one adjective, you have to put them in the right order, according to type. The section below will explain the different types of adjectives and the correct order for them.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Opinion or judgment -- beautiful, ugly, easy, fast, interesting Size -- small, tall, short, big Age -- young, old, new, historic, ancient Shape -- round, square, rectangular Color -- red, black, green, purple Nationality/ origin -- French, Asian, American, Canadian, Japanese Material -- wooden, metallic, plastic, glass, paper Purpose or Qualifier -- foldout sofa, fishing boat, racing car

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Expression "There goes" and "here comes" are special expressions. With a noun, like "bus," the noun is after the verb: "There goes the bus." "Here comes the bus." With a pronoun, the pronoun is before the verb: "There it goes." "Here it comes." _______ There expressions have an existential feeling to them, like "there's a bus, and it's going / coming." These small sentences are fixed in the present, not the present progressive, tense.
