2BAC: FASHION + Royal Order of Adjectives + Tense review


Met Gala 2021: Fashion Secrets From the Stars’ SHOW-STOPPING Looks


LISTEN: Have you watched the MET gala outfits this year? they are quite outstanding and outrageous!

READING:

 From: https://www.listenandlearnusa.com/blog/grammar-adjective-order-english/

English can prove to be one of the hardest languages to grasp for many reasons, and one of those reasons is the way that adjectives are used.

In this article, we take a look at the rules concerning adjectives in the English language, and why they are considered illogical for many non-English speaking cultures.

The order of adjectives is important in the English language. Not only are they always placed in front of nouns they modify, but there is also specific order to their placement. This order is known as the ‘Royal Order of Adjectives,’ according to The Editor’s Blog, and is as follows:

  • General opinion
  • Specific opinion
  • Size
  • Shape (square, round)
  • Age
  • Color (red, black, white)
  • Nationality
  • Material (wooden, brick)

So, for example, adjectives pertaining to size precede adjectives pertaining to age, which generally precede adjectives pertaining to color.

Based on these rules, in English you would say:
One (quantity), beautiful (opinion), small (size), round (shape), old (age), pink (colour), leather (material) bag.

WRITING:Describe your outfit in 3 paragraphs. Use: Present simple / present continuous ; on the one hand; on the other hand.

SPEAKING: It's shooow time! Fashion show: 


Get ready to walk like the model you are on the catwalk and describe your outfit to the rhythm of the music. Pose pose pose
