| Sep 23, 2018 at 23:55 | comment | added | Sara | I understand that words can have multiple functions ( i.e, nouns, verbs, etc.) and multiple meanings as well. I'm asking about the function of binge when followed by a verb or a noun. I'm also asking about the difference between the sets mentioned above. | |
| Sep 23, 2018 at 23:50 | comment | added | Mrt | Some words can be verb, noun and adjective in the same form and even in the same meaning. however this is not the case for all words. For example the word drink is a verb and noun. You can drink a drink. However, you cannot "food" a food because the word food is not a verb in this meaning. And the word air is not used as a verb in the same meaning as its noun. The word binge is also a verb and noun in the same meaning. | |
| Sep 23, 2018 at 23:41 | comment | added | Sara | Yes, but you can't revert air crew to crew air, while you can with binge smoking. | |
| Sep 23, 2018 at 23:38 | comment | added | Mrt | I am not sure if I understood correctly but from what I understand that you think that compound words can only consist of "adjective and noun". However two nouns can get together and create a new word such "air-crew". I think this link would help en.oxforddictionaries.com/punctuation/hyphen | |
