Comma useage
I am writing a piece explaining I am not a great-great-grandmother, but a great, great-grandmother. I believe the comma is needed in great, great-grandmother to show an opinion, then the age. Is this correct?
Top answer
No. great is an adjective. great-grandmother is a noun.
- No.
- great is an adjective.
- great-grandmother is a noun.
- You don't put a comma between an adjective and a noun.
- You could say 'terrific' instead of 'great', to avoid confusion.
