ARRANGEMENTS OF ADJECTIVES

Two or more adjectives can occur successively in the English language. When this happens, here is the other of occurrence: QSSACN

Q- Quality (nice, brilliant, dull)

S- Size (tall, long, short)

S- Shape (robust, slim, circular)

A- Age ( old, new, modern, ancient)

C- Colour (white, black, light, fair)

N- Nationality ( Nigerian, British)

I saw the pretty, tall, slim, young, fair Indian lady.

One must not arrange these adjectives arbitrarily as this will only generate ungrammatical sentences.
