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. This page will explain the different types of adjectives and the correct order for them.
Some examples of adjective order
Opinion | Size | Age | Shape | Colour | Origin | Material | Purpose | ||
a | silly | young | English | man | |||||
a | huge | round | metal | bowl | |||||
a | small | red | sleeping | bag |

My beloved students,
Comparison of Adjectives:
Regular Comparative and Superlative Forms
Adjectives can have degrees of comparison:
Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
red | redder | reddest |
happy | happier | happiest |
ingenious | more ingenious | most ingenious |
good | better | best |
In English, some comparisons are regular, like the ones that add -(i)er and -(i)est, or more and most. And some are irregular, like good-better-best. So too in Latin: there are some adjectives that show predictable changes and some that do not.
