[QUOTE="Fırat, post: 2274, member: 34"] 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. [B]There are three forms for compound nouns:[/B] 1. open or spaced - space between words ([COLOR="red"][B]tennis [/B][/COLOR]shoe) 2. hyphenated - hyphen between words ([COLOR="red"][B]six[/B][/COLOR]-pack) 3. closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words ([B][COLOR="red"]bed[/COLOR][/B]room) [COLOR="red"] Here are some examples[/COLOR] of compound nouns: [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Compound%20Nouns/Compound%20Nouns.gif[/IMG] [B][SIZE="3"]Pronunciation[/SIZE][/B] Compound nouns tend to have more stress on the first word. In the phrase "pink ball", both words are equally stressed (as you know, adjectives and nouns are always stressed). In the compound noun "golf ball", the first word is stressed more (even though both words are nouns, and nouns are always stressed). Since "golf ball" is a compound noun we consider it as a single noun and so it has a single main stress - on the first word. Stress is important in compound nouns. For example, it helps us know if somebody said "a GREEN HOUSE" (a house which is painted green) or "a GREENhouse" (a building made of glass for growing plants inside). [B] [SIZE="3"]British/American differences[/SIZE][/B] Different varieties of English, and even different writers, may use the open, hyphenated or closed form for the same compound noun. It is partly a matter of style. There are no definite rules. For example we can find: [B] * container ship * container-ship * containership[/B] If you are not sure which form to use, please check in a good dictionary. [SIZE="3"][B]Plural forms of compound nouns[/B][/SIZE] In general we make the plural of a compound noun by adding -s to the "base word" (the most "significant" word).
