1) 用复数作定语。
如:sports meeting 运动会
students reading-room 学生阅览室
talks table 谈判桌
the foreign languages department 外语系
2) man, woman, gentleman等作定语时,其单复数以所修饰的名词的单复数而定。
如:men workers women teachers
gentlemen officials
3) 有些原有s结尾的名词,作定语时,s保留。
如:goods train (货车)
arms produce 武器生产
customs papers 海关文件
clothes brush衣刷
4) 数词+名词作定语时,这个名词一般保留单数形式。
如:two-dozen eggs 两打/(二十四个鸡蛋)
a ten-mile walk 十里路
two-hundred trees 两百棵树
a five-year plan. 一个五年计划
个别的有用复数作定语的,如: a seven-years child

Science students; the Clinton Administration; dinner-time; oil industry; Christmas party 等。
下列是名词作修饰语时的语法功能:
⒈代替形容词(或形容词短语)或分词(或分词短语),如:
● country life→rural life ● China-U.S. relations→Sino-American relations ● a launch pad→a launching pad ● cube sugar→sugar formed in the shape of a cube.
⒉代替名词所有格,如:
● good rapport between consumer and producer countries →good rapport between consumers' and producers' countries. ● a proposal for a ceiling on ASEAN commodity imports→ a proposal for a ceiling on ASEAN's commodity imports.
⒊代替介词短语,如:
● a tool box→a box for tools. ● a television programme→ a programme on television. ● apple seeds →the seeds of an apple.
⒋代替同位语、形容词分句或不定式动词短语,如:
● his bank manager son→his son,(who is) a bank manager. ● an ASEAN joint conference report→a report to be jointly made by ASEAN(members).
上述四种情况是名词修饰名词的常见现象。这情形在报章上出现得更频繁。
最后有一点要注意的是,名词作修饰语时,与同词根的形容词或分词作修饰语,有什么语意上的差别呢?不同在于前者强调内容或职能;后者侧重属性和特征:
a. labour intensity(劳工密集) b. labouring people(劳动的人民)
a. a space rocket(宇宙火箭) b. a spacious room(宽敞的房间)
a. an art gallery(艺术馆) b. artistic effects(艺术的效果)
a. a history department(历史系) b. a historic relic(历史遗迹)
