Mnemonic – OSASCOMP

The mnemonic OSASCOMP* can be used to help remember the order in which adjectives should appear:

Use the mnemonic device 'CHAD B. SWIM' to remember all helping verbs at once.

Technically,

🎲 = Die. (Singular)

🎲🎲 = Dice. (Plural)

(However, because so many people use “dice” as a singular word, it’s also accepted.)

You wear *pants*, not “a pant.” 👖

You cut with *scissors*, not “a scissor.” ✂️

If you can’t see well, you need *glasses*, not “a glass.” 👓

“Semiannual” = occurring twice a year.

“Biennial” = occurring every two years.

Quadrennial - 4 years
Quinquennial - 5 years
Sexennial - 6 years
Septennial - 7 years

Novennial - 9 years
