2. That's not my bag. I have a big (2. size), black (6. colour), American (7. nationality), leather (8. material) bag.

big (2. size)

black (6. colour)

American (7. nationality)

leather (8. material)

The American leather bag is big and black. Big e întâi, este cel mai vizibil. Black - descrie geanta în continuare.

The bag is an American and a leather bag. Între  leather și bag nu punem virgulă.

3. I love dogs, but this big (2. size), ugly (1.+3. opinion, quality), fierce (1.+3 opinion, quality), dog frightens me.
