What is a "noun modifier"?

A noun modifier is a word or group of words that adds information to a noun, helping to describe, limit, or specify its meaning. Noun modifiers can be adjectives, other nouns, or phrases that provide additional details about the noun they modify. For example, in the phrase "the red car," the adjective "red" serves as a noun modifier, describing the color of the car. In "the car's engine," the noun "car" modifies "engine," specifying which engine is being referred to. Understanding noun modifiers is important for creating clearer and more descriptive sentences, as they help convey precise meanings.
