Rules for Mixing Adjectives

1. Order is Important: When you combine adjectives, remember this order:

   • Opinion (like beautiful)
   • Size (like small)
   • Age (like old)
   • Shape (like round)
   • Color (like blue)
   • Origin (like Swedish)
   • Material (like wooden)
   • Purpose (like cooking)

2. Use Commas: Put commas between adjectives if they are equally important.

   • For example: "She is a kind, funny teacher."
   • Another example: "It’s a large, red, wooden table."
