My English teacher back in the days had actually taught me that "Shape" comes before "Age".

An interesting acronym which he gave was:

MOSSAC:V-N-H

Modifier, e.g. a, an, the, that, five, etc.
Opinion
Size
Shape
Age
Color
Verb
Noun-Head.


It doesn't make a difference in this specific example though.

Beautiful (opinion)
Red (color)
Leather (noun-head)

Use this formula:
Let the most important or specific adjective be the closest to the noun. In the question above, leather is the most important or specific quality, followed by red, then beautiful.

I don't get it

Sorry, I'm just seeing this.
Generally, the adjective order in English before the noun is:

Quantity or number
Quality or opinion
Size
Age
Shape
Color

That's why it goes like....beautiful, big, red leather-bag.

Nice Work!


You made a remarkable contribution to an Egyptology thread a few years ago.

You said that you knew the name of the first king of Kushsic.

It is correct to every single letter of the alphabet, and the storyline is completely agreeable.

And you're aswell correct that the first King of Kushsic wasnt simply Nubian, he was infact a Nigeriansic.

Congratulation! You've just re-invented the wheel.

Keep up the good work.

Oh my.
Sounds like someone that paid keen attention in high school.
Never heard of that stuff above in my life.

Or did you go further to study English?
