When we are describing something, we don't usually don't use a lot of adjectives. Most of the time, we only use 1 or 2. Examples: That's a nice car. That was an interesting movie. I had a good day. You can use just one or two adjectives to describe why you are returning something to the store. If you want to give more detail you can. Examples: I'm returning the laptop because it's too big and heavy. The ugly, wool sweater doesn't fit me. I'm returning it because it's too small. However if you lose something or someone, the more adjectives and details you give to describe it, the better. Example: Have you seen my daughter? She's 7 years old with big, brown eyes. She has long, curly, brown hair. She was wearing a big, blue, wool sweater and black, ripped jeans.
