Order of Adjectives

PAPER INSTRUCTIONS:

– A minimum of five (5) sources. The final paper should be typed, approximately 4 – 5 pages. Start with ” The Grammar Book” . It’s an excellent source. Then start looking in a variety of grammar books (both descriptive and prescriptive; ESL grammar books can be quite helpful) for information. When you have found out what several grammarians say about your topic, you may still have unanswered questions of your own. Proposing your own solutions to a problem is acceptable.
