English for Today - ARRANGEMENTS OF ADJECTIVES

Two or more adjectives can occur successively in the English language. When this happens, here is the other of occurrence: QSSACN

Q- Quality (nice, brilliant, dull)

S- Size (tall, long, short)


S- Shape (robust, slim, circular)


A- Age ( old, new, modern, ancient)


C- Colour (white, black, light, fair)


N- Nationality ( Nigerian, British)


I saw the pretty, tall, slim, young, fair Indian lady.


One must not arrange these adjectives arbitrarily as this will only generate ungrammatical sentences.
