Adjectives

Little,old and young are often used not to give information , but as part of an adjective-noun combination.

They are often placed next to their nouns:

EG: your nephew is a nice little boy.

Little+old+noun is possible :

EG:a little old man

but

Little+young  is not possible.

Adjectives of personality/emotion can precede or follow young/old :

EG:a young clever man.

EG:For little meaning.

     A small amount.
