Answer 4

Yes, two nouns can be together, for example mountain cabin or window shutter.

When a noun is used to describe another noun, it's called an attributive noun or noun adjunct.

Examples of nouns as adjectives:

• family, 'This is the family dog.'
• school, 'My father is a school teacher.'
• fish, 'We're having fish sticks for lunch.'

When a noun describing noun becomes a frequent or commonly used combination, it graduates to being a compound noun. There are three types of compound nouns:

open spaced: tennis shoe, front door, paint brush

hyphenated: mother-in-law, fifty-five, six-pack

closed: bathtub, baseball, houseboat

There is a special group of multi word verbs called phrasal verbs.

English phrasal verbs consist of a verb, usually a verb of action or movement, and one or more particles - a preposition or an adverb.

Often the meaning of these verb phrases is idiomatic and cannot be determined by knowing the meaning of the individual words. eg

idiomatic -- pick up -- I picked up Spanish quickly.

literal -- pick up -- Pick up your rubbish please.

Many phrasal verbs can be replaced with no change in meaning by a single word e.g. give in by yield, look after by tend, carry on by continue, put up with by tolerate.
