Use the table in Ex. 1 to describe some of the items (1–5) you bought to your partner. I bought some square striped velvet cushions.

Example Response:

The sentence "I bought some square striped velvet cushions" is a good example of using adjectives before a noun. Let's break down why:

• square describes the shape of the cushions.
• striped describes the pattern of the cushions.
• velvet describes the material the cushions are made from.

The order used (shape, pattern, material) is a common and natural way to list descriptive adjectives in English. The instruction "Do not use more than three adjectives before a noun" is followed here, as there are exactly three adjectives.
