Grammar: putting adjectives in order

If you have a number of adjectives before a noun they have a tendency to come in the order:

(1) comparative / superlative (2) opinion  (3) size / shape  (4) age  (5) colour  (6) origin / nationality  (7) material  (8) type / purpose.

For example, the rarest collectable round ancient reddish North-American bronze incense-burning plate - not that you are ever likely to use all categories in one go!

1. I love that really old big green antique car that always parked at the end of the street. [quality - age - size - color - proper adjective]
2. My sister has a big, beautiful, tan and white, bulldog. [size - quality - color - color]
3. A wonderful old Italian clock. [opinion - age - origin]
4. A big square blue box. [dimension - shape - color]
5. A disgusting pink plastic ornament. [opinion - color - material]
6. Some slim new French trousers. [dimension - age - origin]
7. A wonderful old Italian clock. [opinion - age - origin]
8. I bought a pair of black leather shoes. [color - material]
