Trivia

Here's a fun fact that I didn't know myself, and I found it really interesting!

There's actually an order that we have to place our adjectives if we use more than one adjective before a noun. And the order goes like this:

1. Opinion
2. Size
3. Age
4. Shape
5. Colour
6. Origin
7. Material
8. Purpose

I'm sure most of you didn't know that, eh?

So if I want to describe a baby, I'll have to say, "thats a cute little 2 year old baby!" rather than "thats a 2 year old little cute baby!" The latter does sound a little odd, doesn't it? :D
