adjective + noun = black dog
adjective + adjective + noun = big black dog.
adjective + adjective + adjective + noun = big black hairy dog.
adjective + adjective + adjective + adjective + noun = big black hairy scary dog.
adverb + adjective + adjective + adjective + adjective + noun = really big black hairy scary dog.
