EnglishGrammar: Adjective

Choose a grammatically correct sentence from the given options:

Choose a grammatically correct sentence  from the given options:

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 3

The correct answer is Option (3) → Sophia bought a beautiful blue cotton dress.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.

Order of adjectives:

  • When several adjectives come before a noun, they follow a fixed order:
    • opinion → size → age → shape → colour → origin → material → purpose → noun.
  • This sentence: beautiful (opinion) → blue (colour) → cotton (material) → dress.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Sophia bought a cotton beautiful blue dress. — Incorrect. The material adjective "cotton" comes first. It must stand next to the noun.

Option 2: Sophia bought a blue cotton beautiful dress. — Incorrect. The opinion adjective "beautiful" comes last. Opinion must come first.

Option 4: Sophia bought a cotton blue beautiful dress. — Incorrect. The order is fully reversed: material, colour, opinion instead of opinion, colour, material.

Contrast: the opinion adjective comes first and the material adjective stands next to the noun: a beautiful blue cotton dress.
