Grammar
Use of genitive case
I am reading in a grammar that it is often possible to replace noun X+of+noun Y (eg the walls of the town)by noun Y + noun X in that order: the town walls. What's about a plural form, eg "the walls of the towns"? Can I say "the towns walls"? As for the same grammar this is a mistake. Thank you in advance for your help.

We almost never inflect adjectives. "Town" stays the same no matter how many walls there are. "

I'm guessing that by "As for the same grammar this is a mistake" you meant "According to the same grammar book, this is a mistake."
