Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
Nouns that function as adjectives are called attributive nouns.

• 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, in other words, they provide an attribution to the quality of the noun that follows it. Thus the given statement is true.
