Adjective- a word describing a noun. Examples (Adjectives are in caps):

  • Mr. Green has a BEAUTIFUL garden.
  • Some HOT coffee is a GOOD idea.
  • He was really EMBARRASSED.
  • The food at my school's cafeteria is GROSS.

Noun- a word for a person, a place, or a thing. Examples (Nouns are in caps):

  • MR. GREEN has a beautiful GARDEN.
  • Some hot COFFEE is a good IDEA.
  • HANNAH walked down the STREET to go see her DOG.
  • The FOOD at my SCHOOL's CAFETERIA is gross.
A noun that functions as an adjective to describe a noun is called an attributive noun (or noun adjunct). Examples (Attributive nouns are in caps):
  • SCHOOL building
  • COFFEE cup
  • DOG collar
  • CAFETERIA food
