Study Notes

Compound Words

A compound word is a word that is formed by combining two or more words together.
Examples of compound words include:
- Closed compounds (e.g. toothbrush, birthday)
- Hyphenated compounds (e.g. self-portrait, merry-go-round)
- Open compounds (e.g. post office, high school)
The purpose of using compound words in a sentence is to create a single concept or idea that is easier to understand and convey than the individual words alone.
Compound words can provide clarity and precision in writing and communication.
