Adjective Word Order.
Here are some good examples from the homework last week on adjective word order (Task 4). We will go over these in class again and discuss the options when using descriptive adjectives. Can you guess who the writers are?
It's an ugly old statue of a stone monster.
It's a small old doll made of clay and decorated with black cloth.
It's a beautiful small sculpture made of well-preserved old clay.
That is a well-preserved mural with many irregular animal designs.
This small wooden figure of an angel is painted with white stripes which resemble white feathers.
