Nouns and Adjectives

Nouns and Adjectives are teammates who are also good friends. When they make a touchdown, the noun carries the adjective on his back in celebration. And that's how they most complement one another in sentences--the adjective stays as close as possible to the noun: Note: Use a comma to separate adjectives only when the word "and" makes sense in place of the comma. ("Big and bad" makes sense, whereas "three and little" does not.)
