As you know, a noun is a person, place or thing, and an adjective is a word that describes a noun:
| adjective | noun |
|---|---|
| clever | teacher |
| small | office |
| black | horse |
Sometimes we use a noun to describe another noun. In that case, the first noun "acts as" an adjective.
| noun as adjective | noun |
|---|---|
| history | teacher |
| ticket | office |
| race | horse |
The "noun as adjective" always comes first
