If the end of a word is f or Fe, when it becomes plural, we should change f or Fe to V and add es?


This is a special situation in English grammar. If you want to change the word chef, you don't need to change it. This is a special situation where it's easy to set questions in exams. Just remember when you encounter it. Don't learn a language to death, let alone draw inferences from one instance, because there are many special situations. I hope it can be helpful

The differences and rules between noun modifying noun and adjective modifying NOUN
RT, hope to be more complete, don't answer the wrong questions!


Nouns modify nouns with the singular, but with the following exceptions
1) Use the plural as an attribute
Sports meeting
Students reading room
Talks table
The Foreign Languages Department
2) When man, woman and gentleman are used as attributives, their singular and plural are determined by the singular and plural of the nouns they modify
For example: men workers women teachers
gentlemen officials
3) Some nouns ending with "s" are reserved as attributives
For example: goods train
Arms production
Customs papers
Clothes brush
4) When numeral + noun is used as attributive, the singular form is reserved
Two dozen (twenty four eggs)
Ten mile walk
Two hundred trees
A five year plan
A few years child, for example
Nominal Clauses often act as subjects and objects in sentences
Adjectives or adjective phrases usually modify only a single noun or noun phrase
Do not modify Nominal Clauses or other sentences
If an adjective modifies a sentence, it is necessary to connect every word of the sentence with a hyphen, or use quotation marks to induce the clause
for example
He greeted her with a sweet how-are-you-doing?
He greets her with a sweet "how are you?"
She uttered a low yet firm I-do.
She said a low but firm "I will."
When multiple adjectives modify nouns, the order is as follows:
Determiners -- numerals -- descriptors -- (size, length, shape, new and old, color) -- sources -- material properties, categories -- nouns
a small round table
a tall gray building
a dirty old brown shirt
a famous German medical school
an expensive Japanese sports car
Typical example:
1) Tony is going camping with ___ boys.
A.little two other B.two little other C.two other little D.little other two
Answer: C. from the formula of "determiner -- numeral -- description word -- (size, length, shape, new and old, color) -- Nature -- noun", we can see that the order of numeral, description word and nature is in order, only C is in line with the answer
2) One day they crossed the ____ bridge behind the palace.
A.old Chinese stone B.Chinese old stone C.old stone Chinese D.Chinese stone old
Several adjectives modify a noun. Their order is: age, shape, size + Color + source + texture + purpose + country + noun
3) ---- How was your recent visit to Qingdao?
---- It was great.We visited some friends,and spent the ___ days at the seaside.
A.few last sunny B.last few sunny C.last sunny few D.few sunny last
In general, the adjectives closely related to the modified adjectives are close to the nouns. If several adjectives are of similar importance, the adjectives with less syllables come first, and the adjectives with more syllables come second. When you are not sure, you can refer to the following table:
Determiner + quantifier (ordinal number first, cardinal number second) + character Adjective + size, length, height, etc+
those + three + beautiful + large + square
New and old + Color + nationality + material + noun
old + brown + wood + table



Is she were to be here next month?


If (this is not is) she were to be here next month
We can use were + to do sth



Differences between Chinese nouns and adjectives
Many attributive modifiers include Adjective + noun + subject. I often can't see that is adjective and that is noun
Is it brown rough bark or rough brown bark?
I don't know what the "material nature, category" here is. It seems to be an adjective


This is related to the order of Chinese modifiers
The order of pre noun modifiers is as follows
Determiner -- numeral -- description word (size, length, shape, new and old, color) -- source -- material property, category -- NOUN
Brown rough bark - Supplement: Brown rough pine bark
Another example
A new love story book



Be, close to, on, by, next to
I know it means to be close,


The first is on the side, next to, for example: she is beside me
The second step is closer to the first one, for example, she is close to me
This book is on the desk
The fourth is transportation, such as I go to school by bike
The fifth is the next, such as: the bank is next to the school



English: discrimination between nouns and adjectives
For example: is civil in civil rule a noun or an adjective?
That is to say: a word that can be used as both a noun and an adjective modifies a noun. Is it an adjective or a noun?
But you can also use nouns as attributives to modify a noun~


If a word is both an adjective and a noun, it depends on the position of the word in the sentence
If the word appears alone in a sentence and is not followed by a noun, it is usually a noun; if it is followed by a noun, it is an adjective
