Multiple site installations. but Site Installation Team takes an s? #1 (permalink) Thu Dec 10, 2009 16:30 pm   Multiple site installations. but Site Installation Team takes an s?
 

On the construction site, there will be multiple site installations.

My question is : On the title "Site Installation Team" even tho there are multiple site installations, does the word Installation take an "s" ??

thank you for your response.

Hi!!! the word site does not take an " s" since it is used as an adjective.

what about Installation? #3 (permalink) Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:29 am   what about Installation?
 

I want the reason why "Site Installation" does not take an "s".
Why does Installation does not take an s even tho there is multiple site installations?

Is it because the work Team is used after?

That's right-- 'installation' is an adjective, too.

Because it is a heading "the site installation team" and this is singular !!!

In the text they are refering to installations in the context of several installation projects, therefore plural !!
