A twenty dollar payment/donation/contribution
I usually hear people say:
(1a) a donation of twenty dollars
(2b) a payment of twenty dollars
(3b) a contribution of twenty dollars
(4a) a big fan of hockey
Is it wrong to say:
(1b) a twenty dollar donation
(2b) a twenty dollar payment
(3b) a twenty dollar contribution
(4b) a big hockey fan?
Thank you for answering my question.
