2. ____ During the power shortage, the streets light went out.

etc....

Answer 1

@JuanitaM

Answer 2

car's is not correct

Answer 3

im assuming they are using that as a noun adjective to license

Answer 4

streets is not correct either - same logic as noun adjective

Answer 5

Can you explain to me the main concept of a noun adjective?

Answer 6

it describes a noun or subject

so in the first sentence, license is noun and car's describe what kind of license

Answer 7

they say noun adjective because they need you to find the noun and then see which word is describing the noun...

Answer 8

Can you help me with a few more? I won't cheat by like first tells my answer to you and then you can check and explain.

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

____ He wanted to take an economic class. (E)
_____ Many people are worried about the current world's situation.(E)

Answer 11

ok what is your answer

Answer 12

For the first one I said that it was a error and also For the second sentence also.

Answer 13

what is your noun in the first? the adjective?

Answer 14

It's usually going to be written on the end of the sentence?

Answer 15

im not following what you mean

Answer 16

_____ Many people are worried about the current world's situation.(E)

(E) means the error.

Answer 17

i disagree with your answer for the first once - whiich is why I asked you for the noun and adjective

Answer 18

Ok. I think for the first one "class" is the noun and "economics" is the adjective.

Answer 19

that is correct. so why do you think the adjective is incorrect?

Answer 20

I think that "economic" is incorrect because "economic" should be a type of possessive noun, since it is a class and it is being specific with the class.. Economic simply doesn't fit in there.

Answer 21

Well not exactly with an apostrophe though.

Answer 22

he wanted to take an economic class.

That is a perfect sentence. economic tells you which type of class he wants to take

Answer 23

And for the second one, I would say that "lights" is the noun and the "streets" is the adjective because lights is in general wise while "streets" is being more specific about it.

Answer 24

What do you think?

Answer 25

i don't have that for the 2nd sentence. You sent
Many people are worried about the current world's situation.(E)

I agree that is an error

Answer 26

I couldn't catch what you meant by "i don't have that for the 2nd sentence".

Answer 27

sorry - I see you went all the way to your initial post.

Answer 28

???

Answer 29

actually that should be "street" light don't you agree?

Answer 30

Yes

Answer 31

How about this?

"Many people are worried about the current world's situation."

Answer 32

Is it correct or is there an error?

Answer 33

I think it is wrong because should be "current world situation"

Answer 34

Can you explain why?

Answer 35

world's...doesn't make sense - i do not think that is a correct word
in this sentence, situation is noun and world's is the noun adjective.

Answer 36

Just need help with a few more. Thanks for spending some time answering my questions :)

Answer 37

np

Answer 38

"The students did not like the dormitory's rules." (E)
"The television's repairman picked up my television set this morning." (E)
"I need to buy a plane's ticket." (E)
""He is taking an advanced physic course this semester." (E)
'John bought some leather gloves yesterday." (C)

Answer 39

4th one is correct...again physic describes course

all others are correct as you posted

Answer 40

Since physic describes course, does that like mean that every adjective in a sentence will have the error (that they want us to find)?

Answer 41

no not really...i see they are really using the apostrophe s

that is wrong in most of the cases. that should be used when showing possession...not as an adjective

Answer 42

Can you please give me an example (or two) :-)

Answer 43

"I need to buy a plane's ticket." (E)

see that plane's is the adjective
ticket is the noun

this is incorrect because that should be planes (with no apostrophe)

possession is
Jane's book....that is correct

a plane can not possess a ticket...but jane can possess the book

Answer 44

So ur saying that the plane doesnt own the ticket but jane can own the book.

Answer 45

YES...

Answer 46

"Many people are worried about the current world's situation."

so for this is the situation adjective and the world is the noun?

Answer 47

So ur saying that the plane doesnt own the ticket but jane can own the book.

Answer 48

situation is the noun
world's is adjective

adjectives precede nouns

Answer 49

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!! :)
