an adjective that independently modifies a noun when multiple adjectives are used together to describe the same noun, and each adjective contributes equally to the description without modifying the others
What is a "coordinate adjective"?
A coordinate adjective is an adjective that equally modifies a noun and can be joined by the conjunction "and" without changing the meaning. These adjectives provide independent descriptions of the noun and are typically separated by commas when they appear together. For example, in the phrase "The tall, slender man," both "tall" and "slender" are coordinate adjectives that describe "man." If the adjectives can be separated by "and," as in "The old and wise owl," they are considered coordinate. Understanding coordinate adjectives is important for constructing clear and descriptive sentences, ensuring that each adjective contributes equally to the meaning.
