Picnic fruit would be fruit you take on a regular picnic, strawberries for example.
While fruit picnic would suggest a picnic of fruit only.

I agree with nat but I would add that I �ve never said either. It �s not very natural to say �picnic fruit � as which fruits are �picnic fruits � would vary from person to person and I �ve never had a �fruit picnic � - a picnic with only fruit would probably just be a snack on a day in the country. I would consider both expressions to be something not said by native speakers.

Yup, Nat is perfectly right. Wakebeauty, don �t worry. This happens. You can either tell your sts you had a terrible headache that day and mixed things up, or use it for a challenge - repeat the two forms and ask them what they think was wrong about them during the last lesson - don �t forget to reward the student who guesses! |
