COMPOUND NOUNS
♣ Compound nouns are words for people, animals, places, things, or ideas, made up of
two or more words.
♣ Most compound nouns are made with nouns that have been modified by adjectives or
other nouns.
TYPES OF NOUNS:
♣ Closed or solid compound nouns: compound nouns which are one word e.g.
toothpaste, haircut and bedroom.
♣ Hyphenated compound nouns: compound nouns which are connected with a
hyphen e.g. dry-cleaning, daughter-in-law and well-being.
♣ Open or spaced compound nouns: compound nouns appear as two separate
words e.g. full moon, Christmas tree and swimming pool.
The following sentences are just a few examples of compound nouns. The compound
noun examples are written in bold italics.
Compound nouns can be made with two nouns:
ℵ I love watching fireflies during the summer nights.
ℵ While you are at the store, please pick up some toothpaste and some egg rolls.
Compound nouns can be made with an adjective and a noun:
ℵ Let’s watch the full moon come up over the mountain.
ℵ Please erase the whiteboard.
Compound nouns can be made with a verb and a noun:
ℵ You must clean the washing machine.
ℵ Do not let the babies near the swimming pool.
