Adjetive Order

You know you can put more than one adjective before a noun (often two and occasionally three). These adjectives go in a particular order:

1. Opinion adjective go before fact adjectives, 
2. If there is more than one fact adjective, the go in the following order:

This is very difficult to remember, so I'm writing a rime that a teacher tell me some time ago, in order to helping me to remain this order in my memory:

“In my nice (opinion) big (size) flat,

there’s an old (age) round (shape/style) box,

for my green (colour/pattern) Swiss (nationality) hat,

and my woolly (material) walking (purpose) socks”

If that doesn't work, you always can use the "acronim" formed by the first word of every adjective. I mean, you can use: OSAShCNMP

Even so, if this doen't help, you could try with the following chain of characters: it is used by Vicent, one of my blog reader and an English student too: 'BNLPISS', which means 'Big New Long Pink Italian Silk Skirt'

I hope this help.
