THE ORDER OF THE ADJECTIVES
when we use adjectives together,we put words which express opinion before words which describe the type of what we are talking about
Example: a beautiful Turkish carpet (beautiful=opinion + turkish= type)
Not : a turkish beautiful carpet
When we use more than one adjective to describe type they usually follow this order
Size temperature age shape color nationality material type
small mountain village a beautiful old round table
hot black coffee
when there are two or more adjectives after a verb or noun,we use and between the last two :
The people are very welcoming and friendly towards visitors
Adjectives ending in -ed and -ing
Some adjectives connected with feelings are formed from verbs and have two possible forms , usually –ed or –ing e.g. tired/tiring.we use –ed forms to talk about how we feel :
I was facinated to see the extraordinary range of patterns
I was amazed at the variety of wonderful animals
we use –ing forms to describe the things or people that cause the feelings:
It’s an absolutely amazing city to visit.
India is a facinating country
