Adjectives and their order...
Hi! I'm an english student, and I have a question for native speakers or teachers who know the answer!
I had to put -sad - few- last- in the right order with "my days". So I got: My sad last few days , but my teacher said it ought to be: My last few sad days.
In my opinion, there's a slight difference in the meaning, but both sound correct to me!
Does anybody know if there actually is a difference, or if one is right and the other isn't?
I'd really appreciate your help on this!
Thank you very much!

I would have done as your teacher did. I don't know if there is really any difference between the two when it comes to meaning. They seem about the same to me.
