English Grammar.
Noun as adjective.
Noun as Adjective:
Sometimes in the English language, a noun is used to describe another noun; in other words, the first noun performs the function of an adjective. Look at the following examples:
Basketball coach– here the noun basketball is being used to describe the noun coach
Garment shop– here the noun garment is being used to describe the noun shop
Painting exhibition– here the noun painting is being used to describe the noun exhibition
In all the above examples, the first noun acts as an adjective.
Rules related to Nouns as Adjective
1. The ‘nouns as adjective’ always come first or before the second or main noun. Let’s see a few more examples:
A cricket bat
A soccer ball
A car race
A love story
2. In general, like adjectives, nouns being used as adjectives are used in the singular form, although in the case of certain words, like clothes, customs, sports, etc, an exception is made. For example:
Bathroom or bathrooms, and not bathsroom or bathsrooms
Badminton racket or badminton rackets, and not badmintons racket or badmintons rackets
In short, the plural form will always appear on the second noun only.
Some nouns are always written or spoken in the plural forms, but we generally treat them as a singular form. For example:
A billiards player
A news editor
Some nouns are always treated in the plural forms when used as an adjective. For example:
Sports museum
Clothes outlet
Accounts manager
3. Multiple nouns can also be used as adjectives. For example:
School cricket team coach
Motor production cost
Child health care research centre
4. We can also use a true adjective before nouns as adjective. For example::
Famous Indian cricket player
Cute coffee mug
Delectable Chinese cuisine
Honest school teacher
Increasing air pollution

✅Education
🔸sciences- studies about the world, such as physics, biology, chemistry, and maths.
Mark doesn't like scientific subjects, he's just too lazy to learn formulas.
🔸A for effort-a good mark, which is given someone for trying hard rather than for a success.
Although I'm not the smartest in my group, I often get an A for effort, because I try hard.
🔸bachelor's degree-an undergraduate course which usually lasts 3 or 4 years.
I will receive my bachelor's degree in two years.
🔸bookworm- a term to describe someone who really likes to read and spends a lot of time on it.
I'm a real bookworm. I won't stop until the book is read.
🔸distance learning (e-learning)-education that takes place remotely, usually via the Internet.
Distance learning is more flexible than traditional education, because students don't have to attend classes and can schedule their timetables as they want.
🔸eager beaver-an enthusiastic and hard-working person.
My friend is an eager beaver. He studies everything with pleasure and gets great marks.
🔸face-to-face classes- a traditional way of studying - in a classroom with a teacher.
When I was a kid, face-to-face classes had no alternatives, but nowadays a myriad of educational establishments offer online courses and individual tuition.
🔸higher education-education that is followed after high school.
I plan on getting higher education after finishing school.
🔸hit the books-begin studying hard.
I'm on my third year in the university, it is time to finally hit the books.
🔸individual tuition (private tuition)- instruction received individually or in a small group.
Individual tuition is sometimes more effective than group work.
🔸intensive course- a course that offers longer and more frequent classes.
A few years ago I took an intensive French course in the university.
🔸internship- a temporary position which students usually take to get work experience and practical knowledge.
Before I went into design industry, I took an internship in a company.
