Hi alan

Can you tell me please why for instance “Three-year-experience” is not suitable in this case ?

Thanks a lot

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

You asked:

I can only say that it sounds awkward - unnatural. Experience is a vague abstract noun and to add on to it an exact time limit. Three year doesn’t really work. A three year contract or a three year course would work because you are referring here to definite precise nouns.

Hope that helps

Alan
