Grammar
adjective: motivational
The other day, I wrote a motivation talk in my essay. I was told it was wrong and it should be motivational talk since motivational was adjective. All this while I thought motivation can be used as a modifier or can be a noun+noun. Please clarify me on this. Thanks

There are certainly many combinations of noun + noun in English, but we can't just make them up using any nouns we want. In this case the correct term is motivational talk , not motivation talk . By the way, you say Please clarify me on this when in fact you don't want us to clarify you ; you want us to clarify this .
