English - OPSHACOM

Have you ever wonder on how to express few adjectives to describe a person, thing and an object?

For example,

-A lovely, young, British girl.

The adjectives are lovely, young and British.

However, some people will make mistake(s) when they describe a noun with two or more adjectives.

Such as,

-A red, big, poisonous mushroom. (wrong)

But,

-A poisonous(opinion), big(shape), red(colour) mushroom. (correct)


So, a rule that 'called' OPSHACOM which helps people to describe the noun systematically.

OP - Opinion ( cute, lovely, excellent )

SH - Shape ( small, round, tall )

A - Age ( new, young, ancient )

C - Colour ( red, pink, blue )

O - Origin ( Malaysian, Chinese, British )

M - Material ( steel, plastic, woody )

Hence, by using this rule we can use many adjectives to describe a noun.
