Position of adjectives
Adjectives usually go before the nouns they modify.
 She is a nice girl. (Here the adjective nice modifies the noun girl and goes before
it.)
 He is an intelligent boy.
 That was a clever idea.
When two or more adjectives come before a noun, they are usually separated by commas.
 A large, round table
 A short, fair, pretty girl
Note that we do not put a comma after the last adjective in the series.
When the last two are adjectives of color, they are usually separated by and.
 A black and white cow (NOT black white cow)
 Red and blue socks
When two or more adjectives come in the predicative position, we use and between the
last two.
 It was hot and sultry.
 The boy was handsome, smart and polite.
 The clouds looked white and fluffy.
Sometimes we put an adjective after the noun for the sake of emphasis.
 There lived an old man strong and wicked. (More emphatic than ‘There lived a
strong and wicked old man.’)
In phrases such as those given below, the adjective always comes after the noun.
 Time-immemorial
 Heir-apparent
 God Almighty
 President elect
In lines of poetry, too, the adjective is sometimes put after the noun.
 O men with sisters dear! (Instead of ‘O men with dear sisters’)
