Adjective order in a sentence


Photo: www.studenttests.no


Whenever we use more than one adjective in a particular sentence, we follow this order-OSACOMP.

1. Opinion
2. Size
3. Age
4. Colour
5. Origin
6. Material
7. Purpose

So, after you follow the proper order, it becomes:
"I bought a beautiful, small, new, white, work car.
