Adjectives With And

When we put two or more adjectives together, sometimes we put and before the last one. This usually happens when the adjectives are used in the predicative position (after the verb).

She was pretty, kind and intelligent. (Here the adjectives go after the verb be and hence we connect them with and.)

In winter, the days are short, dark and gloomy.

When adjectives go before the noun (attributive position), we do not normally use ‘and’ to connect them.

A clever, intelligent, old woman (NOT A clever, intelligent and old woman)

When adjectives refer to different parts of something, we use and.

A black and white photo (NOT A black white photo)
Red and white socks (NOT Red white socks)
