Here are some rules about the order we put adjectives in
以下是英语里形容词排列的顺序


Describing before classifying:(先描述后分类)

Descriptive adjectives come before adjectives which classify or say what type of thing we are talking about
Giving options before describing (先评论后描述)

Adjectives which say what we think or feel about something or how we judge it usually come before descriptive adjectives
Ordering of descriptive adjectives(描述性形容词的顺序)

Although this order isn't completed fixed, we usually put descriptive adjectives in the following order:

size, age, shape, colour, origin, material

a little, old lady
a young, fat, brown puppy
a petite, white, French, linen jacket
Commas and 'and' with adjectives(用逗号还是用'and')
We can put commas between adjectives, particularly if the list is long and gives similar sorts of information:

an informative, interesting, interactive presentation
a lovely, funny, light-hearted film

We can put 'and' between the final two adjectives in a list depending on whether the list comes after a verb or is followed by a noun

After a verb:
She was tall, beautiful and smart
They were expensive, old and rare

Followed by a noun:
A tall, beautiful woman
Expensive, old, rare coins
