Commas with coordinate adjectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

key notes :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Coordinate Adjectives?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coordinate adjectives are two or more adjectives<\/strong> that describe the same noun equally<\/strong>.
They need a comma<\/strong> between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:
\ud83d\udfe2 She has a smart, confident<\/strong> personality.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Check if Adjectives are Coordinate?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use the Two Tests<\/strong> \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test<\/th>How it Works<\/th>If \u201cYES\u201d \u2192 Use a comma \u2705<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
\ud83d\udd04 Switch Test<\/strong><\/td>Can you swap the adjectives<\/strong> and the sentence still makes sense?<\/td>Yes<\/td><\/tr>
\u2795 \u201cAnd\u201d Test<\/strong><\/td>Can you place “and”<\/strong> between the adjectives?<\/td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Example:
\u2714 \u201cIt was a cold, rainy<\/strong> night.\u201d
Switch Test: rainy, cold night \u2705
\u201cAnd\u201d Test: cold and<\/strong> rainy night \u2705
\u2192 Use a comma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When NOT to Use a Comma<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do NOT<\/strong> use a comma when adjectives are NOT coordinate<\/strong>.
This happens when adjectives work together as a unit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These adjectives must stay in a fixed order<\/strong>:
\u27a4 Opinion \u2192 Size \u2192 Age \u2192 Shape \u2192 Colour \u2192 Origin \u2192 Material \u2192 Purpose \u2192 Noun<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:
\ud83d\udd34 He wore a big red<\/strong> shirt.<\/em>
Can we say red big shirt? \u274c
\u2192 No comma<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Examples:
\ud83d\udeab a beautiful silk<\/strong> saree
\ud83d\udeab three large brown<\/strong> dogs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples with & without Commas<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Correct with Comma<\/strong><\/th>\u274c No Comma Needed<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
a long, tiring<\/strong> journey<\/td>a small blue<\/strong> bag<\/td><\/tr>
a bright, sunny<\/strong> day<\/td>three tall Indian<\/strong> buildings<\/td><\/tr>
a funny, exciting<\/strong> movie<\/td>a delicious chocolate<\/strong> cake<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Quick Tip to Remember<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 If you can add \u201cand\u201d or switch the order, add a comma!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:
calm, helpful<\/strong> teacher
= calm and<\/strong> helpful teacher \u2714
\u2192 Add comma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
