Adjective Order Dictation: Opinion Before Size

Listen for how the speaker feels about the thing, then how big it is. An opinion word such as lovely usually comes before a size word such as tiny. Both describe the noun that follows. Try to hear the two words together rather than stopping at the first one. A longer word may need another listen, and that is fine. Keep the little words too, including a or an. Write the description in the order you hear it.
