Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
For a noun to function as an adjective, it should be placed just after another noun.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

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. In such cases, the first noun acts as an adjective. For example, ‘race’ in ‘racehorse’ would become the adjective. Thus the given statement is false because, for a noun to function as an adjective, it should be placed before the noun it describes and not after the second noun.
