অনেকেই জানেন না : word order of adjective
আমরা যখন একটা noun এর সামনে একের অধিক adjective বসাই সেসব adjective বসানোর নিয়ম আছে অর্থাৎ word order of adjective এর কথা বলছি আমি, তাহলে শুনুন - "Opinion - dimension - age - shape - colour -origin -material " এই সিরিআল মেনে adjective বসবে
যেমন - 'an old wonderful Italian clock' না হয়ে হবে 'a wonderful old Italian clock'. ( সিরিআল টা দেখুন, opinion -age - origin ). Again ' a pink plastic disgusting ornament' will be incorrect but (না হয়ে হবে) 'a disgusting pink plastic ornament'. ( opinion - colour - material) will be correct .
