1. OSASCOMP: Adjectives before the noun

Sometimes we use two or more adjectives together:

• My brother lives in a nice new house.
• In the kitchen there was a beautiful large round wooden table.

Adjectives like large/round/wooden are fact adjectives. They give factual information about age, size, colour, etc.

Adjectives like nice/beautiful are opinion adjectives. They tell us what somebody thinks of something or somebody.

The order of the adjectives before the noun can be easily learned with the acronym OSASCOMP:

NOTE THAT when there are two or more colour adjectives, you can use and. But this doesn't happen with other adjectives.

NOTE THAT usually, English speakers don't use more than three adjectives before a noun, the example below is just to show how adjectives are put in order:

"A nice small new thin red Swiss plastic army knife"
