@Alex Kononenko That's wonderful! I like to see you put the rules into practice. Many use "hardcover" or "hardback" as one word. They can function as nouns, so let's consider them noun modifiers (also called qualifiers by some).
Yes, those are interesting modern Russian hardcover books. -- That's a mouthful! I'd prefer to say, "Those are interesting contemporary novels. My husband brought all those Russian hardcover books back from Moscow."
And yes, books are less expensive in Russia, at least they used to be. A hardback novel in the U.S. can be around $18 dollars. My husband reads those hardcover books. I read the cheaper paperback novels! I used to buy romance novels because they were so readily available in the metro stations in Moscow when I lived there.
NillSilva Hello. I'm glad you like my presentation. I use Camtasia Studio. It works well for my teaching style through video. Kind regards!
One of the most imporrtant lessons of grammar, you helped us Jennifer! :)
The methodical, an eye for details, a very special teacher!
Thank you for the support.
Thanks a lot!! I was wondering if someday, some english teacher in some english school would be able to teach me the real and natural order of adjectives...and I´ve finally found you! Thanks again.
Merewetherful Hello! I don't see your comment here, but I did receive email notification about it. Thanks for watching the lesson. Are you teaching in the classroom? If so, I hope you also check the links to my ELT blog. I post the links in the video descriptions. Have a great week!
Ha ha! It's so nice for you to reply! Yeah, I teach in the classroom. There's so much pressure from the industry to get a celta, but it's so nice that you've done so well without one!
Merewetherful Well, don't get me wrong. I think formal training is important. Students deserve qualified teachers, and different programs require different teaching skills (online teaching, higher ed, K-12, etc.). I just feel that there are different paths we teachers can take. :) Without particular certifications or degrees, certain doors will close. Then you need to decide if you want those door to open, or if you're willing to seek or construct other doors. Best wishes to you!
lol, I have an honours degree and masters. I'm more than qualified to teach English, and celta graduates can't teach in schools here, but I can :)
Merewetherful Good wishes to you! And may no one pressure you to take a path in your professional development or teaching practice that you don't want to take. :)
I was looking for this for so long, thank you again for another perfect lesson.
I'm happy I was able to give the information you were looking for. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions, Morela.
Thank you Jennifer. You're the best teacher in the world!!!
Hello Mateus. It's good to hear from you again. Thank you for the sweet support. :)
I really enjoy your lecture. It recalls what I have learned, Jennifer. Thanks.
I'm happy it was a good review for you.
Jennifer, I used this video in my Grammar class today. I like to expose my students to different voices and presentations. They really enjoyed your explanations and demonstrations. They thought it was very clear and at a good pace for them. I love this topic. Most native American speakers just "hear" these rules but probably have never had to articulate them. Your explanations augmented and reinforced our text. I am really grateful for this resource! CJ
Hello. That's really wonderful to hear! Thank you for writing to me and telling me about your class. Kind regards to you and your students. Please invite them to try out the interactive exercise on my website for review. The link is in the video description :)
Thank you very much for all what are you doing for us.
Wow! This is great. Thank you Jennifer. You are a great teacher and so kind to answer most of comments/questions here. :)
I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, I reply to comments pretty much every day. If you don't see a response posted in the comment section, it may be directly posted on someone's channel. I like to spread out my greetings. :) Regards!
Thanks Ms. Jennifer. It was a interesting and easy to understand lesson.
I will surely learn more from your video-lessons.
Many thanks Jennifer
your videos are always full of to the point tips which often help me ameliorate my way of teaching grammar.
I'm happy to support your instruction, Ali. You might benefit from the exchange below with Daniel Francis. Please also check out the links to WordPress. I posted them in the video description. Thank you. Regards!
I really enjoyed your video on the position of adjectives as I am working on translating a long list of parts for a metallic faucet company and I have to fit in the descriptive words in the right position, so your video was just perfect for me.
For example: Square Acrylic Soap Dish
How timely! I'm happy the information was so relevant. Feel free to post any questions you might have. Your work likely has many examples for others to study. One other viewer nicely pointed out that the movement is generally from abstract to specific. You could also see it as a movement from opinion and general observation to specific details.
It was an interesting lesson. Thank you!
You're a great american teacher! :) thanks for your lesson! I've always been confused about the order of adjectives!
i've been enjoying your tutorials ever since i came across it on youtube. i must say you are one of the finest, most brilliant and wonderful teacher out there. You seem so happy and passionate in your tutorials. i think you are the happiest person in the whole wild world. (i know i can be quite exaggerative sometimes)
i wish i had a teacher like you, here in India , in my school days. I'm happy though we ve internet and youtube and magnanimous souls like you who share their knowledge to the world.
thankyou so much for all your efforts . Keep making videos and sharing insightful stuff about english.
ps
i'd like to ask how can a non native speaker of english develop his formal english? are there any good books out there to help with this stuff?
I love the bookcase, Jennifer. Excellent advice there. Coming to You Tube three years after your one, this is my next lesson. I've been working on my notes for some time. We are developing a picture with adjectives with each word adding more detail. Examples I've came up with are: It's a long hard road ahead. I own a great big yellow car. Tomorrow will be a freezing cold day. I have a beautiful old oil painting hidden away in the attic. Using serial commas would be okay when listing adjectives when they don't act as modifying adjectives. The hardware shop only has green, blue, orange and yellow paint left. Using 'and' is okay when the adjectives don't develop each other either: The freeway is scary and dangerous. He is big and menacing but gentle at the same time.
That's a very good expression to learn: a long hard road ahead. It shows how sometimes the order changes because the speaker wants to emphasize a quality, like "long." "Freezing cold" is another useful collocation to learn. I also like how you show use of "and" and "but" in a descriptive sentence.
Thank you for that. I have also been working on compiling a lesson all about hyphenated adjectives. Are these good examples, Jennifer: Jennifer delivered the lesson in a record-fast time. Quick-thinking people are vital for occupations where time is of the essence, We like old-fashioned buildings. Ray operates a zero-tolerance policy on his channel. The paint-splattered blanket is now used to cover furniture. We tend to be happy-go-lucky people most of the time.
That's a good topic. You can sort them into three groups: with present participles (quick-thinking), with past participles (old-fashioned), and with mixed parts of speech (record-fast, zero-tolerance, happy-go-lucky). Looks like you have a good handle on high frequency modifiers!
Good advice there. With hyphenated words joined together to create one idea or description, the words don't have to be adjectives: We have a never-say-die attitude, We are well-liked people. She is a softly-spoken tutor. I think we can have some fun with this one. I am struggling to come up with more three worded hyphenated examples, but I'll keep searching.
Good luck with that never-ending search for hard-to-find words! ;)
Thank you Jennifer for help me to improve my english everyday..
when ever I watch your useful videos lessons then i'm very pleaseD and euphoric because your incrdible help and support for teaching me and people around the globe .Thank you so much
And I appreciate that you take the time to watch all my lessons, Amadou. It's nice to hear from you this week. Kind regards!
useful lesson as always. Your videos have always helped me in my studies.
I'm happy to hear that, Juan. Have a wonderful week!
Jennifer.You are amazing woman thank you for every things
thank you you are really a good english teacher you helped me a lot
Glad to hear that! Kind wishes to you!
Thank you so much for your reply.
Indeed it is a very interesting helpful unforgettable and useful great lesson :) A teacher used to told us that the order of adjectives is from the most abstract to the more concret one. But, hum, in practice that wasn't that easy. And I did love how you insist about "opinion" becoming first. Opinion is an abstract suggestive word. Abstract being a generic, suggestive reducing the span of abstract.
That great video, as usual, will help me a lot, thanks!
Hi Daniel. Yes, I considered mentioning the point about moving from general to specific, but it doesn't always hold true. The British Council gives nice examples. learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/adjectives/order-adjectives But must we put "strange" before "clever"? And is "clever" truly more specific than "strange"?
I think the idea of nouns sticking together is easier to grasp. For example, materials are often nouns as well, so adjectives like "gold" or "cotton" will be close to the head noun.
Also, I should clarify that "opinion" also includes "observations." So "intricate" may be more based on observation rather than pure opinion.
In any case, I hope it all is clearer now. Please try the exercise on my website for more practice. Regards!
Oh, and you reminded me that if many "opinion" adjectives are used, then treat is like a series with commas. The comma before "and" is optional:
"A very great, interesting, helpful, unforgettable, and useful lesson"
JenniferESL Thanks for your answer, helpful insights, and useful links :) In my feeling I'd say that strange is more generic than clever for one must be equipped of the faculty of thinking to be told "clever", while any kind of events may be considered as strange, which in the degree of opinion is more suggestive than clever.
But you're right, English natives people have an instinctive sens of what is natural or not :)
JenniferESL An thanks for remembering the use of commas :) Have a great time!
Ohh my gosh. You're sophisticated. This is the most incredible English channel I've ever seen. Thumbs up for her initiative. By the way, can you please tell me the correct use of all types of determiners ??? Mainly Quantifiers , Distrubutive and 2 3 example of correct way to use possessive & interrogative. You're so helpful. I hope you'll help me soon .
I'm happy you found my channel. You may like my other videos in the grammar playlist. You'll find it here:

See if you find the lessons on the parts of speech helpful. I talk about syntax there.
Good luck in your studies!
Wow. This is very important. Thank you very much.
I'm glad you agree it's a useful topic to study!
Hello Jennifer! As always very interesting your exposition about order of adjectives in English. It would be also interesting to consider the combination of adverbs and adjectives in a suitable order of these words describing a noun.
For example, regarding your bookcase which is lovely, new and white. If I want to add more information about these characteristics using adverbs such as really lovely, completely new and absolutely white. In this case, the expression "a really lovely, completely new and absolutely white bookcase" would be admissible in a good English?.
I think, in relation to this topic the rules for constructing compound adjectives and adjective phrases would be also very interesting.
Many thanks! Regards!
Hello Joseph. Thank you for watching this lesson. Yes, it would be easy to follow up with a lesson on adverbs. The ones you listed are often referred to as intensifiers: really, very, extremely, etc. Compound words and, in particular, compound modifiers are another interesting topic to cover. Thank you for the suggestions. Have a truly wonderful weekend!
Thank you very much. I like the way you talk and explain. Much Rrespect :).
Respect* xD.
God bless you
You are the best
Thank you
I appreciate your support.
what an awesome helpful lesson!
I'm happy you consider this to be an awesome, helpful lesson.
( "awesome and helpful" > use a comma)
:) Have a great day!
Helpful, Gorgeous and interesting .... Thnx jennifer.
Thanks for the kind support, Alia.
Your lessons are very wonderful,
thanks for your sweet lecture it really helped!!
You're welcome!
Hi, I absolutely love the tone and pace of your explanation as well as the highlighting and circling things that happen while you talk. What software did you use for that?
I'm using this video in my class :)
You are a good helpful teacher,
Yap!! It is very good lecture, and it has given valuable information about adjective order in sentences!! Could you add more vedios. I got across it easily!!
Thanks!!
There are review exercises on my website. Follow the links: www.englishwithjennifer.com > exercises (pc) > grammar > prepositions
Thank-you so much it was an interesting,beautiful and lovely video
Glad you enjoyed it!
In nearly all cases, the noun that acts as the modifier is in the singular form": could you explain why We found plural noun modifiers such as in "kids farm" or "sports day", or “funny playing categories description and range”. Thanks a lot!
Most likely it's a possessive noun: Kids' Farm.
Look how the Smithsonian names their attraction: Kids' Farm
nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/exhibits/kids-farm
A handful of nouns always end in an -s:
A sports agent
The physics lab
A news channel
An interesting useful video very well explained, thank you
You're most welcome.
Thank you for sharing.Very useful.It's so hard for sts to put adjs in the correct order.
I'm ready Teacher Jennifer!! :-)
Wonderful! I'm glad you're ready to learn, Alan. :)
think you too much it's clear for me, really it was interesting show ^^
Lovely, interesting and informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great! Thanks a million!
Glad you liked it!
You enlightened me, Thank you!
I prepared this love confession speech for this girl which requires so many adjectives, I kind of got baffled by the order.
Oh, a confession of love! How romantic. Yes, I can see the need for many adjectives, but you'll likely be using many "opinion" adjectives. The one other guideline there is that you can move from general to specific. Examples:
your lovely, expressive mouth
your beautiful, soulful eyes
Very useful ex.
What are general and specific?
***** Do you see how "lovely" and "beautiful" are more general than "expressive" and "soulful"? We can use the first two adjectives to describe more things, but fewer things can be called "expressive" or "soulful." So another guideline is to put more general adjectives of opinion before more specific adjectives of opinion. Does that make sense?
Makes complete sense, thank you so much, you're the best of the best!
Thank you Jennifer !
You're welcome!
It's very interesting lesson. Thanks a lot!!!!!
I'm glad you found it interesting. Remember there's another exercise on my website for practice. The link is in the video description. Regards!
It was an excellent, object short class!
I was hoping 12 minutes wouldn't be too long! Thank you for the support, Luci.
Other possible working you could use:
"an excellent short class"
"an excellent short class that met its objectives"
JenniferESL You're always kind! Thank you.
Oh thank you this came up in my grammar exam I found it hard when studying (I'm only 10!😂😂😂)
How did you do on that exam? If you're on a desktop computer, you can try this exercise on my website to review.

A great interesting lesson in a beatiful well-decorated new house, filled with lovely knick-knacks.
Thanks a lot, Jennifer !
Hi! I'm so glad you think this is a great, interesting lesson. (A comma to separate the two adjectives is probably recommended since they're both "opinion" adjectives, though "great" could be considered more general and "interesting" more specific. Could we say it's a "great and interesting lesson"? Yes. So a comma can be used.) Hmm... You know I can't find any rule on sequencing adjectives when one is a compound modifier, but I the second phrase seems awkward, possibly because of the length.
Alternatives:
a beautifully decorated new house
a beautiful new house that's well decorated
a new house that's beautifully decorated
Thank you for making me think even harder!
thank you so much teacher jennifer.please help i need lesson and more exercises about paraphrasing.tank u so much again
Follow me on social media. I give different tasks throughout the week. :)
Hi Jennifer .
According to Cambridge English grammar, they use physical quality before the shape and age come after after the shape.
Is it correct?
There are only patterns, not really rules. There will always be some variation. Very rarely will you use several adjectives before a single noun. We usually only use one or two modifiers before a head noun, and then we make additional sentences for further description.
@@Englishwithjennifer
Okay
I got it.
Thanks for help
감사합니다
You're welcome!
I like this video. Thank you for your video 👍👍.
Thank you for the kind support. I hope you'll watch more of my grammar videos.
In the bookend example, I considered 'heavy' more of an opinion than a size.😊
Hi. The order of adjectives given by me and other sources should be a guideline, nothing fully set in stone, so to speak. There will be variations in speaking and in writing. However, some sequences are quite firm. For example, I'd definitely place "heavy" or "light" before a reference to material: a heavy stone bookend, a heavy ceramic coffee mug vs. a light porcelain teacup.
thanks its a really helping lesson
I'm happy it was helpful! :)
Great... Great... Great...
You are very kind, Bimal. Stay in touch, okay? I'm sorry the forum is closed now, but you can also join me on WizIQ now, too. The next live class is on July 17. :)
Thanks a lot, teacher Jennifer!
I like the way you explain thx
I'm happy you enjoy studying with me. :)
I still have to sort out my bookcase, but it will never look as nice as yours. I will make this my new year's resolution.
I had to put many things away in order to move the bookcases for the painters I hired to fix up this room.
@@Englishwithjennifer Yes, I also made sure all precious things were well out of the way when my apartment was repainted.
Hello teacher! Have a nice day. I like your video although I only understand a little, hihi, I will try learn E more. Thanks teacher
Hello again! This is for upper level students. The explanation is rather complex. Sometimes you can learn from trying and getting correction and feedback. Try this exercise and see if the grammar becomes clearer.
www.englishwithjennifer.com/order_of_adjectives.htm
Good luck!
It's a very interesting English lesson.
Thank you for the kind comment, Israel. (And correct order of adjectives, too!)
Dear Prof,
Could I either use purpose or noun modifier before the noun ? thank you wonderful teacher. A
Hi Andrea. Can you give me an example of the two patterns you're asking about? Thanks. Remember I accept questions on Simor.org, too. Okay? :) Find me in the English room.
Great video.
Thank you. Kind regards!
merci beaucoup Jennifer tu as bien explique tu as gentille
You are very welcome. Thank you for the kind feedback.
Hellow, Jennifer. Your video lessons are always interesting. It is very thoughtful of you to comment on all person's point of view. If didn't use the right words forgive me for i'am just an english staunch learner (is the adjectives order correct?). God bless you!
Hello. Thank you for the feedback and support. Please also try the exercise on my website for more practice. See the link in the video description.
Remember to put noun modifiers directly before the noun and put opinion adjectives first. I think instead of "staunch" you might mean "determined." You could use "English student" or "English learner," but it could also be misunderstood - as if you're from the UK.
Suggestion >> I am a determined English language learner.
Have a great day!
i`d ask about writing adjectives after commas is with Small or capital letters ?
Only proper nouns needs to be capitalized. Also, if the words are part of a title, then adjectives are capitalized.
What else can I say about your lesson? It is wonderful and I learn a lot with them. Thanks.
I'm happy you're learning with my videos. ✿
thanks your lesson teacher, can i ask you a question? some places i see that : shape -> age is it right or wrong? thank you so much :)
Hi. There will always be some variation. Even native speakers might mix up the order if there are a number of adjectives and we're still thinking about our choices as we speak. Other useful resources:

by the way, old bald man or bald old man. which is correct? are there any differences between American E and British E? Thank you
Good question.
"Old bald man" got 189K hits on Google.
"Bald old man" got 984K hits on Google.
However, "old bald" showed up in more than 70% of the results on Ludwig.guru.

In the end, I think both will be understood and accepted.
If you substitute another hair color/type, that helps: a young red-haired girl.
@@Englishwithjennifer your answer is more than I expect. Thanks! You're amazing!! Best wishes for you.
4:37 but can i use my vase is small round and made of glass?
Yes. You can use "made of" for the material: A vase made of glass.
But "a glass vase" is more concise. I'd use "made of" for something very specific: A vase made of hand-blown glass.
Jennifer, do you give private classes or in small groups with textbooks? I'm a low intermediate student and I need to go to the advanced level. Thanks
Hello Gabriel. I've offered group classes in the past. Currently, I'm only working with private students. You can write to me via my website for more information.

JenniferESL Ok. I just sent you a message.
Hello Jennifer ! i'm a big fan of your lessons.i have a question : if I write in a sentence two ADJECTIVES of OPINION should i put a "comma" or "and" between them. Thank you.
Hello. Sorry that I didn't see this earlier. You can do either: You're a talented and intelligent person! You're a talented, intelligent person!
thank you
I love the sounds in every english word and the accent..I think those sounds are beautiful I love for example how you pronounce the word lovely I feel amazed when I listen to those words. By the way which is the appropriate word in my last sentence "amazed" "marveled" to express my feeling???
"Amazed" is more natural in that sense. "Marvel" is mostly used as an intransitive verb, I think. "Mavel" + at. You can use "marvel" + that" + noun clause, too, but unlike "amaze," we don't have as much flexibility:
amaze > amazing, amazed
marvel > ??? (marvelous)
I like the way you write your screenplays.Logical!
Knickknack is American English.Am I correct?
Dear Jennifer,
i find your videos are very helpful for me.
where can i find grammar lesson 1? i can not find it on your youtube.
The older videos are still on RUclips. Please forgive the lack of video and audio quality! I was just learning how to make videos in 2007. :)

Hi, Hope you would be having great time in your life. I need to ask a question. Actually, I have been learning English myself for a couple of years. But I am having problem understanding modal verbs and specially the "WOULD AND COULD" Could you suggest me some resources for this? Like books, videos etc. Thank you so much
Hello Farooq. Modal verbs are a big topic. I hope to make a playlist on this grammar point in the future. There are videos by other teachers here on YT. You can do a search. I think English Page does a nice job on its site. www.englishpage.com/modals/modalintro.html Also, a good learner's dictionary will give a concise explanation with examples.
www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/would
www.learnersdictionary.com/definition/could
I appreciate it. And I will wait for the playlist.
hi jennifer, can I make a question? sometimes a verb does not conjugate in an sentences, for example: "she go" so the correct way should be "she goes" I think it has to do with the intransitive and transitive verbs. Do you know something about this one? many tanks beforehand :)
same birthday! March 9th! i watched you vid to study for a test should i say EXAM thank you for teaching me!
+Sweet Twinkle Hi! A few more weeks and we'll celebrate our birthday! :) I hope you did well on your exam. Best wishes to you!
+JenniferESL Thank you so much!
please help me. I use AGE + SHAPE, just like you. But some reference books says SHAPE + AGE. i'm really confused.
Not all sources agree, and truthfully with age and shape, it's not a big deal to flip them around. Other adjectives don't switch as easily. Opinion adjectives almost always come first. Noun modifiers like to appear immediately before the head noun.
@@Englishwithjennifer thanks so much. I appreciate it
Great 👍🏻
Thank you.
Would you consider adjectives such as shy, ambitious, humble, and arrogant to be opinion adjectives? If not, where would you place them?
Hi Barbara. Yes, those adjectives express opinion. You can put any adjective that's more general in nature first. For example, "a nice, humble man." NICE is a little more general, and HUMBLE refers to a more specific quality. Other examples
1. an ambitious American politician
2. a shy little girl
JenniferESL Thank you. I appreciate your quick response.
все как всегда великолепнно
Большое спасибо! Kind regards!
11:10 but instead of noun modifier is not origin?
Do you mean the owl lantern? "Owl" refers to the design on the lantern, not the origin.

I wonder, do you have grammar lessons about the use article > Definite article, indefinite article, and no article ?

Yes, that could work, but we understand that vases are usually for flowers, so I'd omit that.

I'm happy you liked the lesson.
JenniferESL honestly English is my second language, I learned it the old fashion way if I had had teachers like you my English would be way much better than it actually is, LOL Do you have a School where you teach?? Regards
Sylardf I don't teach at a school. I've offered private lessons in the past. I may open some group classes in the future. :) Have a great weekend! :)
(Quick correction to help you, okay? "If I had had teachers like you..." = unreal condition in the past: had + past participle)
Corrected :P thanks a lot!!
mam how to identify which verb will be changed in adjective and which one will not changed. like tire changes into tired and become adjective. but with some words it is not happend like come this verb doesn't change in adjective so how to identify it.
First, often active, dynamic verbs about emotions form adjectives: EXCITE > exciting, excited. But there are non-action verbs that do this, too: LIVE > Are there any other living relatives we can contact? (still alive) / HAPPEN > This is happening place! (an exciting place with lots of activity)
There isn't a clear rule I'm able to give you, just advice. Read and listen a lot. Through exposure you'll learn which forms are commonly used and worth learning. If you wish to create a form yourself and have doubts, you can check a dictionary.
