Noun as Adjective

    Noun as Adjective

    As you know, a noun is a person, place or thing, and an adjective is a word that describes a noun:
    adjectivenoun
    cleverteacher
    smalloffice
    blackhorse
    Sometimes we use a noun to describe another noun. In that case, the first noun "acts as" an adjective.
    noun
    as adjective
    noun
    historyteacher
    ticketoffice
    racehorse

    The "noun as adjective" always comes first

    If you remember this it will help you to understand what is being talked about:
    • a race horse is a horse that runs in races
    • a horse race is a race for horses
    • a boat race is a race for boats
    • a love story is a story about love
    • a war story is a story about war
    • a tennis ball is a ball for playing tennis
    • tennis shoes are shoes for playing tennis
    • a computer exhibition is an exhibition of computers
    • a bicycle shop is a shop that sells bicycles
