Bank loan or bank's loan

David1999 · #1 (permalink) Fri Aug 28, 2009 10:48 am *Bank loan or bank's loan*

I bought this house with a bank loan or
I bought this house with a bank's loan.

Which one is correct and what is the difference.

Thanks

The first is correct; the second is not. We do not normally use the possessive for inanimate agents.

Mister Micawber,
1. I bought this house with a bank loan.
The word 'bank' is a noun.
But here 'bank' is used as adjective.
Am I correct, sir?
Thanks,
