Hi

Do you find the following sentence OK and natural?

Quote:
Everybody's bag in the garden put together was smaller than the giant's pouch.

That's a bit awkward, Tom. The 'in the garden' part is odd, and saying 'put together' with the singular 'bag' strikes me as a little odd, too.

I assume you mean that each of the people in the garden had a bag. How about something like this:
Everybody in the garden had a bag, but the giant's pouch was larger than all of their bags heaped/put together.
