Noun modifiers
Level: beginner
We often use two nouns together to show that one thing is a part of something else:
the village church
the chair leg
my coat pocket
London residents
In these examples, the first noun is called a noun modifier.
| Be careful! |
|---|
We do not use a possessive form for these things. We do NOT talk about:
|
We can use noun modifiers to show what something is made of:
a gold watch
a leather purse
a metal box
We often use noun modifiers with nouns ending in –er:
an office worker
a jewellery maker
a potato peeler
We use measurements, age or value as noun modifiers:
a thirty-kilogram suitcase
a two-minute rest
a five-thousand-euro platinum watch
a fifty-kilometre journey
We often use nouns ending in -ing as noun modifiers:
a shopping list
a swimming lesson
a walking holiday
a washing machine
We often put two nouns together and readers/listeners have to work out what they mean:
an ice bucket
(= a bucket to keep ice in)an ice cube
(= a cube made of ice)an ice breaker
(= a ship which breaks ice)the ice age
(= the time when much of the Earth was covered in ice)
Sometimes we find more than two nouns together:
London office workers
grammar practice exercises
Noun modifiers come after adjectives:
the old newspaper seller
a tiring fifty-kilometre journey
"Put your question in the box"
