Help with questions Hi, there Please, could you help me with two questions? These questions are driving me crazy 1) Do you say late/early in the morning/evening OR late/early morning/eveing? And late at night or late in the night? a) We talked(worked) until late in the morning" or "We talked (worked) until late morning"? b) We talked(worked) until late at night/late in the night"? c) The rain will pick up late in the morning/late morning and will let up early evening/early in the evening into late at night/late in the night/late night" 2) Why do you say "a tall, handsome man" but "a short beautiful man" or "a beautiful short man"?? Why do you put commas in the first? What about "a beautiful tall man/woman"? And "a cute, small, chubby dog" or "a small, cute chubby dog"? Or "A small, cute chubby dog"? Finally, would you say "a comfortable(,) white leather couch" or "a comfortable, white, leather couch"? Please Thank you!!!

1) Do you say late/early in the morning/evening OR late/early morning/eveing? And late at night or late in the night? //late in the evening / early in the morning are the most common //late at night is how we say that :) a) We talked(worked) until late in the morning" or "We talked (worked) until late morning"? //we talked until early in the morning (from 11pm - 7am) //We talked until the afternoon (8am - 12pm) b) We talked(worked) until late at night/late in the night"? //we talked until late at night c) The rain will pick up late in the morning/late morning and will let up early evening/early in the evening into late at night/late in the night/late night" //The rain will pick up late in the morning and will let up early in the evening and into the night 2) Why do you say "a tall, handsome man" but "a short beautiful man" or "a beautiful short man"?? Why do you put commas in the first? What about "a beautiful tall man/woman"? //she is a beautiful, tall woman //he is a handsome, short man //the commas separate the adjectives, they aren't necessary, just make things look better. And "a cute, short, chubby dog" or "a short, cute chubby dog"? //that is a cute short chubby dog or that is a cute, short, chubby dog (either one works) Finally, would you say "a comfortable(,) white leather couch" or "a comfortable, white, leather couch"? //a comfortable white leather couch.
