Can two nouns come together?
They are all compound nouns and that is our subject today. A compound noun is a noun made by putting two or more words together to act as one noun. These nouns can be written as one word (as in fireworks and waistline), as hyphenated words (as in well-being), or as separate words (as in ice cream).
Can you have 2 nouns in a row?
A compound noun is two nouns (or an adjective and a noun) that are treated as a single noun. In spoken English, the most noticable difference between adjunct noun + noun and compound noun is that the compound noun has undergone a shift in vocal stress.
Can we have two nouns in a noun phrase?
Whenever we have two or more distinct nouns (or pronouns) in the same noun phrase – most frequently separated by the conjunction 'and' – we might need to pay a bit of attention to make sure the forms of the nouns work together.
What are the rules of Latin word order?
But, although Latin word order can be very flexible, typical Latin word order generally follows the pattern Subject- Object-Verb (SOV). English word order is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). For instance: S V O English - The boy sees the dog. S O V Latin – puer canem videt.
