Order of Adjectives

Overview

In this classroom resource, students will learn how to order adjectives. It is very common to use more than one adjective before a noun in a sentence. Remember, when we use more than one adjective before a noun, we need to put them in the right order, according to their type. This resource offers videos, games, and worksheets to help further understand the concept taught in this lesson.
