Request of Adjectives
There are 2 essential situations for modifiers:
prior to the thing
after certain action words (be, become, get, appear, look, feel, sound, smell, taste)
Descriptor Before Noun
We regularly utilize more than one descriptive word before the thing:
I like large dark canines.
She was wearing a delightful long red dress.
What is the right request for at least two descriptors?
1. Above all else, the overall request is:
assessment, certainty
"Assessment" is your opinion of something. "Certainty" is what is unquestionably evident about something.
a dazzling new dress (not another stunning dress)
an exhausting French film (not a French exhausting film)
2. The "typical" request for actuality modifiers is
size, shape, age, shading/cause/material/reason
a little eighteenth century French end table
a rectangular dark wooden box
3. Determiners as a rule start things out, despite the fact that a few grammarians view them as reality descriptive words:
articles (a, the)
possessives (my, your...)
demonstratives (this, that...)
quantifiers (a few, any, couple of, many...)
numbers (one, two, three)
Note that when we need to utilize two shading descriptors, we go along with them with "and":
Numerous papers are highly contrasting.

*often a thing utilized as a descriptive word
Descriptive word After Verb
A descriptive word can come after certain action words, for example, be, become, feel, get, look, appear, smell, sound
In any event, when a descriptive word comes after the action word and not before a thing, it generally alludes to and qualifies the subject of the statement, not the action word.
Take a gander at the models beneath: subject action word descriptive word
Slam is English.
Since she needed to pause, she got eager.
Is it getting dim?
The assessment didn't appear to be troublesome.
Your companion looks pleasant.
This towel feels moist.
That new film doesn't sound intriguing.
Supper smells pleasant today around evening time.
This milk tastes sharp.
It smells terrible.
These action words are "stative" action words, which express a state or change of state, not "dynamic" action words which express an activity. Note that a few action words can be stative in one sense (she looks delightful | it got hot), and dynamic in another (she took a gander at him | he got the cash). The above models do exclude every single stative action word.
Note: likewise that in the above structure (subject action word descriptor), the modifier can qualify a pronoun since the subject might be a pronoun.
