number + noun = adjective
It’s very common in English to put two words together in order to form an adjective. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to put a number and a noun together to form an adjective that describes another noun.
Example:
| number | noun | noun | result |
|---|---|---|---|
|
two
|
car
|
garage
|
two-car garage
|
|
25
|
story
|
building
|
25-story building
|
|
five
|
star
|
hotel
|
five-star hotel
|
|
48
|
hour
|
wait
|
48-hour wait
|
You must hyphenate the number word and the noun. These two words together function as an adjective.
– (hyphen)
Notice that numbers ten and under are usually spelled out completely. If you write 2-car garage, for instance, it looks awkward.
