| Prompt: | When adjectives modify the same noun, the adjectives are separated by a comma when the adjectives are separate things and could be separated by using the conjunction "and." |
| Examples: | Consider the following: 1) In the word group: "grey, blue, and green cloth," the adjectives are separated by a comma instead of using the conjunction "and" (grey and blue and green). 2) In the word group: "simple minded thinking," the adjectives are not separated by a comma. The words go together and cannot be separated by "and." |
| Directions: | Below are listed several sentences with two or more adjectives in a series. For each sentence: 1) click to select all adjectives found in the sentence, and 2) click to select below the sentence whether the adjectives should be separated with commas or have no commas needed. |
| Note: | Commas have intentionally been left out of this exercise. |
