Commas - Coordinate Adjectives 1a

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:
