Nounscan be modified in other ways than by adjectives. ;-)
Yes, I know that. Like by an adverbial or an appositive word(s). But here it doesn't seem to be either...Quote:

In what way do you think is functions adjectivally?;-)

I think it simply modifies the noun "one's turn", identifying what one has to do when the turn comes.Quote:

That's a tricky one to pin down, but I don't feel that the modification is strictly adjectival. 'Red' differentiates a book from a green one, so I know which one you are referring to, but does 'to drive' differentiate my turn from 'to wash up'? ;-)
No differentiation? :shock: Isn't "your turn to drive" different from "your turn to wash up"?Quote:
