Say each noun group aloud: the usual order of adjectives sounds right.
A noun group is a main noun plus the words that describe it, such as a tiny brown mouse. Write the noun group at the start of each sentence, then circle its main noun.
When we use more than one adjective, they usually go in this order: number → opinion → size → age → shape → pattern or shade (such as striped or red) → material → noun. Circle the noun group that sounds right.
Write the adjectives in the usual order to complete each noun group.
