Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

 When using two or more adjectives together, the usual order is opinion-adjective + fact-adjective + noun. (There are some additional rules for the order of fact adjectives.) I saw a nice French table. That was an interesting Shakespearian play.

 Adjectives usually come before a noun (except when a verb separates the adjective from the noun). I have a big dog. She married a handsome Italian man. (Her husband is rich.)

When two singular subjects are connected by or, use a singular verb. The same is true for either/or and neither/nor. John or Mary is coming tonight. Either coffee or tea is fine. Neither John nor Mary was late.

The subject and verb must agree in number, that is a singular subject needs a singular verb and a plural subject needs a plural verb. John works in London. That monk eats once a day. John and Mary work in London. Most people eat three meals a day.

Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. An object is optional. Note that an imperative sentence may have a verb only, but the subject is understood. John teaches. John teaches English. Stop! (i.e. You stop!)

The order of a basic positive sentence is Subject-Verb-Object. (Negative and question sentences may have a different order.) John loves Mary. They were driving their car to Bangkok.

1. A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period/full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark. see Punctuation The fat cat sat on the mat. Where do you live? My dog is very clever!
