英语中经常出现几个并列的形容词修饰同一个名词的情况，要注意以下几点：

1）一般情况下，并列的形容词不会超过三个；

2）并列的形容词的排列顺序是有规律的，请记下面的口诀："美小圆旧黄，法国木书房"。这一口诀告诉了并列的形容词的一般排列顺序：美：指美、丑、好看、漂亮等的形容词；小：指大小；圆：指方、圆，指形状；旧：指新酒；黄：指颜色；法国：指国籍；木：指质地、材料；书房：指用途。当然，像冠词、人称代词、指示代词等的限定词应放于最前面。

e.g. the pretty round French wood desk

3) 有时候形容词的顺序可能与口诀不同，那是因为为了强调某一个形容词。

e.g. a. yellow old coat：一件黄颜色的旧衣服(强调yellow）。

an old yellow coat：一件旧的黄衣服（强调old)。

6. all / whole

all：着重"整体"，"全部的、所有的"，修饰可数名词时，指所有的数量，修饰不可数名词时，指整个范围或全部数量；位于定冠词、物主代词、指示代词、基数词的前面。

e.g. All these years we were busy with the research.

He stayed indoors all the afternoon.

注：all作代词：代替可数名词时，即为复数，代替不可数名词时，为单数，作"所......的一切"解释时，为单数。

e.g. All were here just now, but none is / are seen now.

There is much water in the sea, but all is salty.

All we need is time and your help.
