Explanation

I have three white dogs.

English Explanation

【Translation】I have three white dogs. 【Explanation】In English, quantity adjectives (three) go before descriptive adjectives (white). The order is [Subject (I) + Verb (have) + Number (three) + Color (white) + Noun (dogs)]. The correct order is 'I have three white dogs.' The 3rd word (★) is 'white'.

日本語解説

【和訳】私は白い犬を3匹飼っています。 【解説】英語では、数や量(three)を色の形容詞(white)よりも前に置きます。語順は【主語 (I) + 動詞 (have) + 数 (three) + 色 (white) + 名詞 (dogs)】となります。正しい文は「I have three white dogs.」となり、3番目の空欄(★)には「white」が入ります。
