二)巧记高考形容词作定语的排列顺序,屡试不爽
多个形容词作定语的排列顺序当名词前面有几个形容词作修饰语时,一般按下列次序排列:限定词+描绘形容词+形状+大小+颜色+国籍原材料。有一个句子利用谐音可以帮助我们很容易地记这个顺序:县官行令杀(色)国才(国家的栋梁之才)。(限定词+外观的词+形状+年龄大小+颜色+国籍词+材料)。这个顺序可以说是屡试不爽。
三.比较结构中表示倍数和百分数的词的位置。一般来说,这类词放在as┉as结构之前,也可以放在the size/length/width/depth/height等之前。如:three times as big as, thirty percent the depth of等。

在英语中,当名词有多个形容词修饰时,就有它们的先后顺序。
下面的口诀可帮你记住这一先后顺序,也是解题的关键。

形状年龄和新老;
颜色国籍跟材料,
作用类别往后靠;
其中,“限定词”包括:冠词、物主代词、指示代词、或数词,它位于各类形容词前。它本身分为三位,即:前、中、后。前位限定词有all、half、both、分数和倍数;中位限定词有冠词、指示代词、物主代词等;后位限定词有基数词和序数词,但序数词位于基数词前。如:both my hands、all half his income等。
“描绘”性形容词如:beautiful、bad、cold、great等。“大长高”表示大小、长短、高低等一些词。表示“形状”的词如:roundsquare等。“国籍”指一个国家或地区的词。“材料”的词如:wooden, woolen, stone,silk等。“作用类别”的词如:medical, college,writing desk,police car等。下载本文
