Adjectives
Adjectives are used to describe nouns (people, places, animals, fruits, objects,
devices, etc.). In English, different from Spanish, adjectives are placed before the
noun. Consider these examples:
• I have a beautiful daughter.

• She is a smart student.
Adjectives are also used in a sentence to make language more diverse and
colorful. Consider this example:
• He is a man.
• He is a smart, tall, young, Colombian man.
When there is more than one adjective within the same sentence, a chosen order
must be followed. Check the following chart: (cuando tenemos más de un adjetivo
en una oración, se debe respetar el orden que se presenta a continuación).
Order of Adjectives
CATEGORY EXAMPLES
Opinion Beautiful, attractive, smart, ugly, etc.
Size Small, little, big, huge, tiny, etc.
