"Being a welcome guest"
Is "welcome" an adjective?
Thanks.

Yes, welcome here is an adjective

 

[Trina]

Is "welcome guest" correct or should it be "welcomed guest"? Or are both correct?

 

[nytas]

I think "a welcom guest" is correct.

Mimi,

The WordReference dictionary is an excellent resource for these types of questions. The entry there on "welcome" shows it as noun, verb, adjective and gives examples for each of these usages.

I hope this helps,
Joelline

Hi, Heba.
Yes, I know but in "a welcome guest" why is it not a noun? Sometimes I see that a noun is considered as an adjective.

Thank you, Joelline.
It is clear in the dictionary.
Thanks.
