Common misconception
When in English there are two nouns together to describe a particular type of something, e.g. 'train ticket', in Spanish we translate them in the same order.
In Spanish, the word order changes and the preposition 'de' is used between the two nouns, e.g. 'train ticket' is 'billete de tren'.
