sometimes we add to the noun possessive s , but sometime we don �t
I know that there is something called pre-modifier.
1- teacher�s book.
2- love bounds.

I don �t really understand what you need here: the pre modifiers of the noun? A premodifier is a word that is placed before the word it modifies. It can be an article, an adjective etc.

Hi Khalid!
Do you mean "love bonds"? This is a compound noun (noun + noun combination).
Perhaps you �ll find something useful here:

Hi,
It depends on what you are trying to convey. The 1st example refers to ownership and the 2nd one to the type of bound or limit described. In sentence n�2 the word LOVE -which is a noun- is acting as an adjective, describing the type of bound (NOT ownership).
Look at this:
Mary �s love (ownership, also Mary �s dog, Mary �s car, etc.) and
love song (the type of song, also romantic song, folk song, etc.)
