Commas - Coordinate Adjectives
Definition: Coordinate adjectives are adjectives that are placed next to each other that are equal in importance.
There are two tests to determine whether adjectives are coordinate:
1. See whether “and” can be smoothly placed between them.
2. See whether the adjectives’ order can be reversed.
Example: We saw a happy, lively poodle.
Could also be: We saw a lively, happy poodle.
The meaning of the sentence remains intact, so these are coordinate adjectives, and they need a comma between them.
Directions: Choose which adjectives need commas, or should remain without a comma:
