UNDERSTAND
Title: Writing/Composing Clear and Coherent Sentences Using the Correct Order of Adjectives
Sentence and It’s Parts
Look at the picture below. Tell something about it.
We can tell that…

The forks are clean.
There are six silver forks.
The forks are placed in a glass.
The group of words inside the box is called sentences. A sentence is a group of words
expressing a complete thought. A sentence has two parts; a subject and a predicate. The subject tells
who or what the sentence is about The predicate tells about the subject (Source: English This Way 5 by
Leonila S. Navea, pp. 230-231). A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with either a period (.),
question mark (?), or exclamation point (!).
Predicate
Example:
1. Mother cooks a delicious breakfast.
Verb Ends with a period.
Subject
Begins with a capital letter

In the sentence shown above (Example no. 1), the subject is mother. It answers the question
'who.' Who is being talked about in the sentence? (mother). The predicate, on the other hand, answers
the question 'what.' What does the subject (mother) do? cooks delicious foods is the predicate.

2
Note that the predicate starts from the verb to the last word of the sentence. The verb is also called the
simple predicate of the sentence.
Here are some examples of sentences. Please read.
1. Rosa washes the plates.
2. The flowers were placed in the beautiful flower vase.
3. He brings his toy car to school.
Adjectives and Sequence of Adjectives in a Series
When we see something that catches our attention, we often describe it.
Now, look at the image inside the box. Read the words that describe the image.
-describing
three words-
Adjectives
green
big We say…
pomelos
three green big pomelos
Adjectives
Adjectives are words used to describe nouns (e.g., name of a person, things, etc.)
or pronouns (e.g., she, they, it, etc.).
Example: big, short, beautiful, delicious, old, new, silver, green, four
Now, let us use some examples of adjectives in a sentence.
1. Lorna has a big umbrella. { The adjective, big 'describes' the word umbrella}
2. His hair is short. { The adjective, short 'describes' the word hair}
3. Your eyes are beautiful. { The adjective, beautiful 'describes' the word eyes}
Order of Adjectives in a Series
The Order of Adjectives in a Series sometimes called the Sequence of Adjectives in a Series,
is a pattern that is necessary to learn in the English language. This pattern is used when there
are two, three, or more adjectives used in phrases or sentences. Below is a table showing this
order or sequence of adjectives and examples.
Order of Adjectives in a Series
1 2 Physical Description 7 8 9 Noun

Determiner Observation Origin Materials Qualifie
r
3 4 5 6
Size Shape Age Color
(1) an expensive small old watch
(2) two round green pomelo
(3) those shiny diamond Chines gold earrings

e
Now, read the sentences form using the examples of adjectives above.

1 2 3 5
1. She received an expensive small old watch from her mother.
1 4 6
2. Two round green pomelos were harvested by Rolan.
1 2 4 7 8
3. Those shiny diamond Chinese gold earrings were sent last month to the Philippines.
Note that Order of Adjectives in a Series follows the sequence: determiner (e.g., an, a
few…), observation (e.g., beautiful, courageous, hardworking…), physical description {size
(e.g., big, small…), shape (e.g., round, square…), age ( young, old…), color (green, blue…)},
origin (e.g., Chinese, American, Italian…), materials (e.g., leather, metallic, gold…), a
qualifier (e.g., hunting, running,..), and last is the noun.

www.guidetogrmmar.org
However, there are many exceptions to these rules. Sometimes not all in the sequence or
pattern are used in a particular sentence. Therefore, it is very important to familiarize this
pattern and remember them.
SAQ-1: Read the sentence. Identify the underline words, A and B, if it is a subject
or a predicate.
1. Abner bought a new school bag.
