Modification Nouns

A modifier is a word/phrase/clause which modifies other words in a sentence.

We often use two nouns together to show that one thing is a part of something else:

the village church
the car door
the kitchen window
my coat pocket
London residents
In these examples, the first noun is called a noun modifier.

Be careful! We do not use a possessive form for these things. We do NOT talk about:

the car's door
the kitchen's window
the chair's leg

We can use noun modifiers to show what something is made of:

a gold watch
a leather purse
a metal box

We often use noun modifiers with nouns ending in –er:

an office worker
a jewellery maker
a potato peeler

We use measurements, age or value as noun modifiers:

a thirty-kilogram suitcase
a two-minute rest
a five-thousand-euro platinum watch
a fifty-kilometre journey

We often use nouns ending in -ing as noun modifiers:

a shopping list
a swimming lesson
a walking holiday
a washing machine

Sometimes we find more than two nouns together:

London office workers
