文法句型

foldaway + noun

用法筆記

Always attributive — placed directly before a noun (foldaway bed, foldaway table). Not used after a linking verb (✗ 'the bed is foldaway'). Distinguish from 'folding' (sense 1), which describes anything that bends and does not emphasise storage.

'Foldaway' is used directly before a noun, not after verbs like 'is' or 'seems'.
