Usage of AND
1. Do not use AND between two adjectives that come before a noun unless they describe similar qualities, e.g.
i) a red and green umbrella (two colours, means similar qualities)
ii) a gold and silver bracelet (two materials, means similar qualities)
iii) a hunting and fishing knife (two functions, means similar qualities)
INCORRECT: There is a beautiful and old temple in our colony.
CORRECT: There is a beautiful old temple in our colony.
(BEAUTIFUL and OLD are not similar qualities)
2. Do not use AND after MANY, means you should say ‘many + adjective + noun (without AND)’; e.g.
INCORRECT: I had never seen so many and bright stars in the sky.
CORRECT: I had never seen so many bright stars in the sky.
