What are the rules to change noun into adjective?
We can form adjectives from nouns by adding suffixes to a noun. The Adjectives that are formed by adding -y or -al or -ial as a suffix are given below in the table. If the noun has an 'e' in the ending, it is removed and -y or -al or -ial is added as a suffix to the noun to form an adjective.
What are examples of locatives?
For example, the word home is itself a locative adverb in a sentence like "I took him home today" or "I found him home today"; in the former case, it is equivalent to the phrase "to home", and in the latter to the phrase "at home".
What are locative nouns in English?
They are terms that can be used after forms of be to indicate the location of a subject and in answer to questions about the location of something. If they are a single word, they may appear in dictionaries as adverbs or nouns. Some idiomatic expressions are locatives.
Can a noun be used as an adjective?
English often uses nouns as adjectives - to modify other nouns. For example, a car that people drive in races is a race car. A car with extra power or speed is a sports car. Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns or noun modifiers.
