The best idea is to focus your question by giving us a couple of examples of phrases you had trouble with. Then it's easier to help you.

Hi Kitty, and welcome to the site!

I agree with Jamie that specific questions are easier to help people with. As for the order of adjectives, there are some general guidelines, but no absolute rules. As you can see in the first link below, the placement of the word "old" in a sentence, for example, can vary -- depending on the sort of "feeling" it is to convey.

For now, here are some links that might be useful for you:
