I’m here with new content for you and
today I thought I’d do a bit of grammar
which I haven’t done in a very long time
today we’re going to talk about
objective order which is really really
important if you want to sound like a
native speaker for get started I just

reading and your pronunciation because
you get to hear how the word is
pronounced let’s get on with the video
now this is a general order you might
sometimes hear native speakers using a
different order but this is generally
the order that we use it’s quite long
but it goes as the following first we
would say our opinion opinion first
something is ugly or gorgeous then we
would say the size of the noun big tiny
then we would say the shape fat round
then we would say the condition broken
dirty and we would say the age ancient
new for example then the color red white
you guys know the color then the pattern
spotty striped then we would say the
origin Spanish Indonesian
then we would go and say the material
cotton metal and finally the purpose so
a sleeping for like a sleeping bag or a
flower for a flower pot so so this is
the order that we use to lift the
adjectives before a noun but my tip
is we don’t tend to list more than three
so use this order pick three of them and
put it before an hour so for example
I’ve got a red Spanish flamenco dress no
I really really do love it I can’t wait
to wear it
at the city of Sevilla and this year
okay
or I could say I am wearing a burgundy
silk blouse so as I like to talk about
important items and prized possessions
in the comments I would like you to
write three objects that you really
really love so I want you to describe
them using adjectives in the correct
order guys that’s it for today’s lesson
