I'm trying to practice て form joining sentences.

If possible, Can someone check these to make sure I understand it right?

1.バス停で待って詰らなくて疲れる (waiting at the bus stop is boring and tiring)

2.それ時計は高価で大きいです (That watch is expensive and big)

3. あの店のやさいはすべてあおくておいしくないです (The vegetables at that store are all blue and not delicious)

Grammar isn't my forte. So I expect millions of mistakes

Thanks to whoever does it.

つまらない is usually written in hiragana.

The -te form can't be used to express the gerund "waiting at the bus stop". You need to use a nominalazer for that purpose.

つまらなくて疲れる means more likely "is tiring because it' boring" since the -te form can express the cause/reason. If you want to say just "is boring and at the same time tiring", つまらないし疲れる is more appropriate.

The rest is OK.

窶堙や?堙懌?堙ｧ窶堙遺?堋｢ is usually written in hiragana.

窶堙や?堙懌?堙ｧ窶堙遺?堋ｭ窶堙??敕ｦ窶堙ｪ窶堙ｩ means more likely "is tiring because it' boring" since the -te form can express the cause/reason. If you want to say just "is boring and at the same time tiring", 窶堙や?堙懌?堙ｧ窶堙遺?堋｢窶堋ｵ窶敕ｦ窶堙ｪ窶堙ｩ is more appropriate.

The rest is OK.

So would it go like this? バス停待つのはつまらないし疲れる I seem to have trouble with nominalizers. So it's most likely incorrect.

Thanks again
