İsim Tamlamaları

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
Mary and Jack have a ten-month old bab
