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!
