Vocabulary and Pronunciation

-Compound noun and adjective
A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more words. A compound noun is
usually [noun + noun] or [adjective + noun], but there are other combinations (see
below). It is important to understand and recognize compound nouns. Each compound
noun acts as a single unit and can be modified by adjectives and other nouns.
There are three forms for compound nouns:
1. Open or spaced - space between words (tennis shoe)
2. Hyphenated - hyphen between words (six-pack)
3. Closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words (bedroom)
