Things English speakers know, but they DON’T know that we know…
Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order:
Opinion
Size
Age
Shape
Colour
Origin
Material
Purpose
Noun!
So, you can have a lovely, little, old, rectangular, green, French, silver, whittling knife.
But if you mess with that word order in the slightest, you’ll sound like a maniac!
It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of them can write it out…!
And as size comes before colour, green great dragons CAN’T exist!
