A comma (,) is a punctuation mark used to create a pause in writing. Adjectives are words that describe and modify nouns (people, places, things, or ideas).
Commas can be used with adjectives, but only between coordinate adjectives.
Further Explanation:
According to the rule book, we can always put a comma between coordinate adjectives. Coordinate adjectives are those which alter the same noun by appearing in sequence with one another. For instance, the adjectives in the expression black and rainy night & bright, sunny day are coordinate adjectives. They always come before the final adjective, and are usually detached with either commas or and.
We can say that it is a tough job to identify which adjectives are coordinate. Coordinates are not certain consecutive pairs or set of adjectives that change single nouns. For instance, in the expression harsh verbal warning, harsh changes the expression verbal warning. Therefore, harsh and verbal are not coordinate adjectives.
Whenever you encounter difficulty in determining whether the given pair or set of adjective is coordinate or not, you can apply two easy methods. Firstly, put the word and between the two adjectives. Secondly, swap them. If, in both instances, the resultant expression still seems correct, we are most probably dealing with coordinate adjectives and must use a comma separating them. You should remember that we, on no occasion, use a comma ahead of the noun or pronoun being altered or between adverbs and the adjectives they change.
