Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
An attributive noun can also be called noun adjunct.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The names of persons, places, or things are known as nouns in English, whereas adjectives describe a noun. But in some case, a noun is used to describe another noun. For example, ‘race’ in ‘racehorse’ would become the adjective. Such nouns are called attributive nouns because they describe the attributes of the noun. They are also called noun adjunct, in which the noun is functioning as a pre-modifier of the noun phrase. Thus the given statement is true.
