Step-by-step solution for: Order of adjectives worksheets | Worsheets library
I need to solve this worksheet about ordering adjectives. Let me work through each question carefully.
The rule shown is that adjectives follow this order:
1. number
2. opinion
3. size
4. shape
5. age
6. condition
7. color
8. pattern
9. origin
10. material
11. purpose
Let me check each question:
Question 1: (Already answered - A)
- A. a cotton, orange shirt (material, color) ✓
- B. an orange, cotton shirt (color, material) ✗
Correct: Material comes after color, so "cotton, orange" is wrong. Wait, let me reconsider... Actually looking at the order: color (7) comes before material (10), so it should be "orange, cotton." But A is marked correct. Let me re-read... Oh! The answer shows A is correct with a red mark. So "cotton, orange shirt" is considered correct. Hmm, but that doesn't match the order given. Let me look more carefully at the image... I see there's a red line through option A and it says "P" next to it. This might mean it's been graded. Let me continue with the other questions.
Actually, looking at the standard adjective order and the list provided:
- Color (7) should come before Material (10)
So for Q1: "orange, cotton shirt" would be correct (B), not A.
But wait, I see the answer key might already be filled in. Let me focus on solving the remaining unanswered questions.
