3-across and through

The difference between across and through is like the difference between on and in.Through,unlike across,is used for a movement in a three dimensional space,with things on all sides.Compare:

+We walked across the ice.(we were on the ice.)

I walked through the wood.(I was in the wood.)

-adjectives with and

When two or more adjectives(or other modifiers)come together,we sometimes put and before the last one and sometimes not.It depends partly on their position in the sentence.

1.after a verb

When adjectives come in predicative position(after be,seem and similar verbs,we usually put and before the last one.

He was tall,dark and handsome.

2.before a noun

In attributiveposition(before a noun),and is less common.

a tall,dark,handsome cowboy

However, and is possible when the adjectives describe the same kind of thing(for example appearance or character).

a cruel(and)vicious tyrant
