For this class, you only need Opinion--Size--Color--Pattern

It's difficult to find internet resources on adjective order that only have these categories.

It's also easy to find internet resources that are totally wrong about the order.

Advanced Class adjective order is NO SASC POMP -- Number Opinion Size Age Shape Color Pattern Origin Material Purpose  (I think numbers often replace articles and that an article (a-the-an) isn't an adjective)  Practice Adjective Order -- Advanced, but the easiest I found

What was your routine when you were twelve years old?  (Example:  When I was twelve, my dad usually woke me up at 6 AM.  I usually read a novel before I walked to school.  I really liked my teacher, Ms. Combs.  She was strict, but happy to repeat things when I didn't remember.  We always had a long recess after lunch, and sometimes I did all my homework with my friends at that time. We studied math, English, the revolutionary war, and science.  In science, I made a lamp.  After school, I walked to my piano class, my swimming class, my friend's house, or my home.  At home, I usually made biscuits for an after-school snack.  My parents often took me to restaurants or to the shopping mall in the evening.  My bedtime was 8:45.)
