I would like to know about how we deal with two or more verbs modifying a
noun. Do we connect the verbs using the TE-form or do we keep them in their
original tenses?

> 激しい雷を **伴った** 昨日から **降り続いている** 雨のせいで、電車が遅れている。(Found this sentence on a
> native site - <https://webdirectorsguide.com/blog/know-how/basic-
> knowledge/2015/02/061318>)

In this case it seems that the correct choice would be to use the original
tenses of the verbs.

But, I've also thought up sentences like:

> **買って** 読んだ本がつまらない。

I don't know if using the te-form is correct but it seems to make sense.

Are both forms of using two or more verbs to describe a noun correct? If so,
the cases where we have to use one or the other are different?

question
grammar verbs て-form
Two or more verbs modifying a noun
If you use the て form, order is implied. In your example, you bought the book
then read it, so the て is appropriate.

In the example sentence you gave, the accompanying thunder (雷を伴った）isn't
happening before 降り続いている since there's no て

> Because of the rain, which brought thunder and has been continuing since
> yesterday, the train is (currently) late

So to answer your question, if the sequence of events matters, the て form is
correct. Otherwise, you don't need to use the てform to connect two verbs

Though you didn't ask about this in your question, the first sentence you
posted actually isn't a very clear sentence because it's not clear whether 激しい
is modifying 雨 or 雷. Instead, the article recommends the following 2

> 昨日から降りつづいている、雷を伴った激しい雨のせいで、電車が遅れている。
>
> 昨日から、雷を伴った激しい雨が降り続いている。そのせいで、電車が遅れている。
