ADJECTIVE SERIES
Series-when two or more adjectives are used in a sentence following a pattern.
The pattern:
1.The Determiner came first which as the adjective (a.an.the)or pronominal adjectives (these,our,several.....)

2.Numerical adjectives-follow however the ordinal number (first second...) comes first the cardinal number (one,two)

3.The descriptive adjectives-come last when there are more than one descriptive adjective used follow this order:

The order
a.size
b.shape
c.quality
d.color
e.noun determiner-closed description of a noun. Example:Those eighteen long - steammed red prono numerical size color minal.
In many languages, attributive adjectives usually occur in a specific order. In general, the adjective order in English is: 1. general opinion 2. specific opinion 3. size 4. shape 5. age 6. color 7. origin (nationality) 8. material
So, in English, adjectives pertaining to size precede adjectives pertaining to age ("little old", not "old little"), which in turn generally precede adjectives pertaining to color ("old white", not "white old"). So, we would say "One (quantity) nice (opinion) little (size) round (shape) old (age) white (color) brick (material) house."
This order may be more rigid in some languages than others; in some, like Spanish, it may only be a default (unmarked) word order, with other orders being permissible.
Due partially to borrowings from French, English has some adjectives that follow the noun as postmodifiers, called postpositive adjectives, such as time immemorial. Adjectives may even change meaning depending on whether they precede or follow, as in proper: They live in a proper town (a real town, not a village) vs. They live in the town proper (in the town itself, not in the suburbs). All adjectives can follow nouns in certain constructions, such as tell me something new.

    The issue of slavery in America is a vastly documented phenomenon that captivates the interest of nearly everyone with a slight interest in history. It is a dark and fascinating subject yet still an overlooked part of our young nation’s history. Though there are countless books and articles written on the topic, few provide such compelling and brutally truthful accounts of the hardships endured by slaves as Harriett Jacobs in Incidents of a Slave Girl. Within this novel, she attempts to describe her situation under the laws dictating her life as a slave. She writes as to persuade the reader not to judge her as she tells them all she has bared in her life. As a young girl when she became a slave, she was subject to harassment, particularly by sexual means, more so than her male equals. Through the course of her book, Jacobs describes her predicament and attempts to survive and surpass it.…

    Sex instruction is critical, however numerous amounts of students complete sex education classes with a mutilated perspective of sexuality and without a decent comprehension of contraception and safe-sex practices. Schools without sex education, leave children confused and often misguided. Students are left to learn through their parents about sex, who could, in turn, be misinformed themselves by never having taken a course in sexual education. Without sexual education classes, little is accomplished leaving a defective and contorted, one-sided point of view of safe sex such as abstinence. The lack of knowledge also can lead to an increase in teen pregnancy, and the spread of sexually transmitted disease, Sexual education should be taught to…

    An adjective modifies a noun. It describes the quality, state or action that a noun refers to.Macedonian Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence.While in English an adjective doesn’t change when the noun changes, in Macedonian an adjective should agree in gender and number with the noun. For example: a) Masculine to feminine example: Ова е мојот мал син (this is my little son) becomes: ова е мојата мала ќерка (this is my little daughter) As you can see from the example above, the adjective comes before the noun and also takes the feminine form. b) Singular to plural example: Ова е мојата мала мачка (this is my white cat) becomes: Ова се моите мали мачки. (these are my white cats). As you can see from the example above, the adjective comes before the noun and also takes the plural form.…
