Grammar
Co-ordinate adjective
Hello,
I recently saw the following sentence in an MSNBC article:
The house was a gray, two-story, Colonial-style three-bedroom built in 2003, according to the real estate site trulia.com.
In short, all these commas imply that these are coordinate adjectives. As such, they can be seperated by the word 'and' as well as reversed in order to still make sense. How is it possible to add the word 'and' between 'gray' and 'two-story'?
Many kind thanks for whoever answers this post.
