Grammar
A boiling point = a point for boiling or at boiling or of boiling
1) A sleeping bag = a bag for sleeping
2) A living room = a room for living
3) A boiling point = a point for boiling or at boiling or of boiling
I know we can rewrite a sleeping bag to a bag for sleeping and I was wondering if when we rewrite a boiling point, a point for boiling is correct or another preposition such as at or of is correct or natural? Or all of them are possible?
What do you native English speakers think?
I know sometimes my questions are weird but there are so many different explanations and information in my country so I need native English speakers' thoughts and help.
Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.
