Use the Correct Adjective Order | Interactive Worksheet ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a chart that shows the correct order of adjectives in English:

Order:
1. Number or Quantity
2. Opinion
3. Size
4. Shape
5. Age
6. Color
7. Origin
8. Material
9. Purpose

And we’re told to use this order when putting multiple adjectives before a noun.

---

Part One: Put the adjectives in the correct order

We’ll go one by one.

#### 1. green, three, best
→ Number: three
→ Opinion: best
→ Color: green
✔ Correct order: three, best, green

#### 2. old, round, wooden
→ Age: old
→ Shape: round
→ Material: wooden
✔ Correct order: old, round, wooden

#### 3. American, fox, furry
Wait — “fox” is the noun here? But the instruction says “put the adjectives in the correct order”. So “fox” is likely the noun, and “American” and “furry” are adjectives.

But “American” = Origin
“Furry” = Opinion (or maybe size? No, it’s more about texture/quality → opinion)

Actually, let’s check the chart:
Opinion includes words like “beautiful”, “ugly”, “furry” can be considered an opinion or quality.

So:
→ Opinion: furry
→ Origin: American
→ Noun: fox

But wait — the example in Part One says:
“three, best, green” → so they list only the adjectives in order, not including the noun.

In #3, “fox” is probably the noun, so we just order “American” and “furry”.

But which comes first? Opinion before Origin.

So: furry, American

But the blank has two lines — maybe they expect both adjectives? Let’s look at the example again.

Example: “three, best, green” — all three are adjectives.

In #3, if “fox” is the noun, then “American” and “furry” are the adjectives.

So: furry, American

But let’s double-check — sometimes “American” could be misinterpreted, but no — it’s clearly origin.

✔ Correct order: furry, American

Wait — actually, looking back at the worksheet, in Part One, the example given is:
“three, best, green” — and those are the three adjectives from “three, best, green” — so for #3, the adjectives are “American” and “furry”, and “fox” is the noun.

So answer should be: furry, American

But let’s see the next ones to confirm pattern.

#### 4. oval, mini, ugly
→ Opinion: ugly
→ Size: mini
→ Shape: oval
✔ Correct order: ugly, mini, oval

#### 5. purple, large, gorgeous
→ Opinion: gorgeous
→ Size: large
→ Color: purple
✔ Correct order: gorgeous, large, purple

#### 6. thirteen, square, new
→ Number: thirteen
→ Shape: square
→ Age: new
✔ Correct order: thirteen, square, new

#### 1. My sister has a ______ bookcase in her room. (big, yellow)
→ Size: big
→ Color: yellow
✔ Answer: big, yellow

#### 2. I see ______ birds on the maple tree. (beautiful, six)
