The phrase a beautiful old Indian carpet follows these guidelines:
|
1 |
4 |
8 |
|
|
quality |
age |
origin |
noun |
a |
beautiful |
old |
Indian |
carpet |
You don’t have to include an example of every type of adjective, but the ones you do use should follow the order. So if you wanted to add red and green to the phrase a beautiful old Indian carpet, you would put it between old and Indian like this:
|
1 |
4 |
6 |
8 |
|
|
opinion |
age |
colour |
origin |
noun |
a |
beautiful |
old |
red and green |
Indian |
carpet |
It sometimes helps to remember the order of adjective if you consider that adjectives whose meaning is closely, or permanently, connected to the noun are placed nearer to it in the sentence. So in this phrase: a large comfortable wooden chair – wooden has a very close connection with chair .

If we use 2 adjectives that are similar in meaning, we usually put the shorter one first: a soft, comfortable cushion.
