I wonder,
why

What is your experience about the ISIS in Bahrain?
What is the correct height for the ninety-stories tallest – in tallest – type?
Tall is an adjective that modifies building.
Ninety-Eight is an adjective that modifies tall.
One hundred ninety-thirty-twelve’s doesn’t make sense because you are selecting modifiers that qualify how tall the building is, but how tall any story is. Why is story not normally an adjective but does make a lot of sense?
Which one is better… ninety-stories and ninety-stories tall? Does adjectives do no what? So “Ninety-stories” tall sounds like an additional noun for a brief moment until the speaker/reader gets to the word “building” and figures out what you meant.
I know, a fire
in the 928-seat store, but if it does happen in a flat,
the only way would be
to just evacuate the tenant and put a huge cinder block in the front of the building, a fire might start. If it was, even a good roof structure could be a problem for firemen, this would be an ok case.
The phrase u00bbNinety-storyu00ab is a noun phrase. I’m a measure phrase. What is the appropriate answer for me? Can you use measured phrases to modify adjectives? The measure phrase always comes before the adjective. The other adjectives come last during comparing of sentences. Measuring Usually, the measure phrase is made from a number and a unit of measurement (a noun). The unit of measurement often measures time or space, but it could be anything:
-
ten-mile -long
-
five-year old
-
three-metre -wide
-
ninety-storey -tall
These big phrases are adjective phrases. When they come before a noun, the unit of measurement is singular and we use hyphens to join up the words. If they don’t have a following adjective, for example if they appear after the verb BE, then the unit of measurement can be plural and we don’t need hyphens.
