🎁 Download FREE lesson PDF + quiz ✨ $1 Grammar E-Books 😃 Advanced English Grammar Course Pop quiz: which is correct:  - a red big ball, or a big red ball?  - an awful old movie, or an old awful movie?  - a French lovely silk gown, or a silk French lovely gown, or a lovely French silk gown? All of these examples are related to ordering adjectives in the English language - when we have multiple words describing something, how do we know which one comes first, next, and last?  That's exactly what you're going to learn today - and if you can master the correct adjective order, then you'll be able to describe anything with confidence in English - knowing you sound natural! If you're learning English, make sure to download the free PDF of this lesson - it's a fantastic reference because it has LOTS of example words, as well as a quiz to help you practice the proper order of adjectives.  If you want to master English grammar beyond ordering adjectives, I'd love to help you inside my Advanced Grammar Course, where we learn all these tricky topics in detail - with clear explanations and examples.
