If you're using two adjectives in a row, you need to put a comma between them if they're coordinate adjectives. One way you
can tell that adjectives are coordinate is if they're in the same DOSA-SCOMP category. DOSA-SCOMP stands for determiner,
opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose.

Hint #2

Another way to tell if adjectives are coordinate—and therefore need a comma between them—is if you can write them in the
opposite order that they're already in and the sentence still makes sense. For instance, you can write He made us a
delicious, beautiful cake or He made us a beautiful, delicious cake, and both of these sentences work perfectly
well.

Finally, you can tell if adjectives need a comma between them if you can put and in between them. For example He made us
a delicious and beautiful cake.
