B. Kinds of Adjective
We usually divide adjective into two parts; one is opinion
adjectives and the latter is fact adjectives.
Adjectives like new, large, round, wooden are fact
adjectives. They give us objective information about
something (age, size etc.). Adjectives like nice, beautiful are
opinion adjectives.
Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives. Let's see
the following tables.
