Which of these sentences are correct:
1-Soldiers timid and cowardly don't fight well. -
I would not put adjectives after the noun they modify.
A. Soldiers that are timid and cowardly don't fight well.
2-A soldier came in the room, a soldier timid and cowardly.
You don't need to say "a soldier" twice. Get rid of the second "soldier" and the comma. Reverse the word order. B. A timid and cowardly soldier came into the room.
3-A soldier timid and cowardly came into the room. -
I would rewrite this one in the same way I rewrote the number 2.
C. A timid and cowardly soldier came into the room.
4-They arrest soldiers timid and cowardly.
D. They arrest soldiers that are timid and cowardly.
5-They arrested a soldier timid and cowardly.
E. They arrested a timid and cowardly soldier.
