3  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.)
