a) Bir isim diğer bir ismin önüne gelerek onu
nitelyebilir. Böyle bir durumda, ismin önünde kullanılan
isim sıfat olarak görev yapar. Niteleme amaçlı kullanılan
isim daima tekildir.
Doğru: He works at a shoe store.
Yanlış: He works at a shoes store.
Examples:
• I bought a grammar book • I bought a story book
• We ate at an Italian restaurant • We ate at a Chinese
restaurant.
• I like vegetable soup • I like lentil soup.
The soup has vegetables in it, so it is vegetable soup.
My garden has flowers in it, so it is a flower garden.
They sell shoes in that store, so it is a shoe store.
b) eğer bir ismin önüne bir miktar belirteçi getirilirse
( -) ile nitelenen isimden ayırmak gerekir:
The movie lasted three hours. In other words, it was a
three- hour film.
Last year we had a four-week vacation in the Alps.
