The use of adjectives is essential when trying to describe a noun or pronoun. Good writers and speakers are able to use adjectives to create clear, mental images for the reader or listener.
4
Adjectives can be used to describe lots of things, from physical size, age, shape, colour, material, to more abstract things like opinion, origin and purpose.
5
Adjectives that express opinions usually come before all others, but it can sometimes depend on what exactly you want to emphasize. For example: That's a nice, big, blue bag." (You like the bag.) That's a nice blue." (You like the colour.)

You might swap adjectives that express an opinion and an adjective based on fact depending on what you wish to emphasize: For example: "She had a long, ugly nose." emphasizing the length of her nose. "He was a silly, little man." emphasizing that the man was silly.

For example: "She had a big, ugly, old, baggy, blue, stripy, cotton, British, knitting bag."
