Commas with Pairs of Adjectives

Posted: 09 Aug 2010 02:19 PM PDT

Age, color, shape, material, and nationality are never coordinate.

We adapted this blog post from one of our answers on Yahoo! Answers. The asker asked a common question about whether or not to put a comma between adjectives. 

Question:
Is this comma needed: “I’m a 46-year-old, married woman living in the suburbs”? 

Answer:
The short answer is "No." 

Now, here is the long answer. 

You have two adjectives describing woman: 46-year-old and married. We have to figure out whether or not these are coordinate adjectives. If they are, then we use a comma, but if they aren’t, then we don’t use a comma. 

Coordinate adjectives are two or more adjectives that describe the same noun. When you have two or more adjectives together, we apply this test to see if they are coordinate.
1. Can we put and between them without changing the meaning?
2. Can we reverse their order without changing the meaning?
If the adjectives pass this test, they are coordinate and should be separated by a comma. 

For example, consider this sentence:
“The dry, dusty road stretched endlessly.” Here, we examine the pair of adjectives dry and dusty.
1. Can we put and between them without changing the meaning? Yes.
2. Can we reverse their order without changing the meaning? Yes.
This makes them coordinate adjectives, and the comma is necessary. 

Now let’s look at your sentence and apply the same 2-part test.
1. Can we put and between them without changing the meaning? Yes.
2. Can we reverse their order without changing the meaning? No.

Your example fails the test for coordinate adjectives. 46-year-old and married are NOT coordinate adjectives. Because these are not coordinate adjectives, you don’t use a comma. 

Some adjectives are never coordinate, whether they are in the first or second position. They include the adjectives for the following characteristics.

  • age (such as 46-year-old)
  • color
  • shape
  • material
  • nationality
