When you write an adjective do you place a comma after the adjective?

Answer 1

If a sentence has one adjective, then a comma is not necessary after the adjective. Example: She is a beautifulwoman.

However, if there is a series of adjectives (coordinate adjectives) modifying the same noun, then a comma (or and) is necessary to separate the adjectives. Example: She is a beautiful, smart woman. She is a beautiful and smartwoman.

Answer 2

Adjectives are used to describe a noun:

She is a happy child.

I like spicy food.

Adverbs are used to describe a verb, an adjective, or another adverb:

She eagerly opened the present.

He stirred vigorously until it was light and fluffy.

The room had a really beautiful view.

The moved very cautiously across the ledge.

Answer 3

Sometimes, depending on the type of adjective. Coordinate adjectives are adjectives in a row that each separately modify the noun, like "Red, hairy dog." They are separated by commas. Cumulative adjectives, don't separately modify the noun and are not separated by commas. The adjective before the noun pairs with the noun as a unit. The adjective before that unit modifies them. A large cheese Pizza would be an example. Changing coordinate adjectives order would not make sense, whereas coordinate adjectives in different orders make sense. A cheese large pizza does not make sense, but a hairy, red dog does.

When you are using a list of adjectives. For instance, "A big, strong, slightly paranoid ape climbed the Empire State Building."
