Study Notes

Compound Nouns

Compound nouns are words formed by combining two or more words.
Compound nouns can be written as one word (e.g., "snowball"), two words (e.g., "grandparent"), or hyphenated (e.g., "fire-fighter").
Examples of compound nouns: "cupboard," "backpack," "waterspout," "computer," "grandchild," "armchair," "snowman," "classroom," "bookstore," "birthday."
Compound nouns can be countable or uncountable.
Uncountable compound nouns are nouns that cannot be counted (e.g, weather, literature).
Some compound nouns describe relationships, such as "grandparent" and "grandchild," that can be represented visually with a diagram.
Compound nouns are often used in sentences, such as "My niece sleeps in her comfortable bedroom, or "You can play draughts with your friends."
