COMPOUND NOUNS Nouns | Abstract Nouns | Collective Nouns | Common Nouns | Concrete Nouns Countable / Uncountable Nouns | Gerund Nouns | Predicate Nouns | Proper Nouns A compound noun is a noun that is made up of two or more words. Most compound nouns in English are formed by nouns modified by other nouns or adjectives. For example: The words tooth and paste are each nouns in their own right, but if you join them together they form a new word - toothpaste. The word black is an adjective and board is a noun, but if you join them together they form a new word - blackboard. In both these example the first word modifies or describes the second word, telling us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is. And the second part identifies the object or person in question. Compound nouns can also be formed using the following combinations of words:Noun Adjective Verb Noun Noun Adjective + Noun + Noun + Noun + Verb + Verb toothpaste monthly ticket swimming pool underground Haircut dry-cleaning Output

Preposition + Noun

+ Preposition hanger on

Preposition + Verb The two parts may be written in a number of ways:-

1. Sometimes the two words are joined together. Example: tooth + paste = toothpaste | bed + room = bedroom 2. Sometimes they are joined using a hyphen. Example: check-in 3. Sometimes they appear as two separate words. Example: full moon

Often, the meaning of a compound word cannot be discovered by knowing the meaning of the different words that form it. Compounds can be written either as one word or as separate words (sometimes hyphenated).
