Compound nouns
Definition A compound noun is a noun that is made of two (or more) parts:
a toothbrush / a tin-opener
Form
1.
Many compound nouns are formed by using one noun (as an adjective) in front of another always singular (even if the meaning is plural)
a toothbrush (a brush for cleaning teeth)
a shoe shop (a shop which sells shoes)
a taxi driver (a person who drives a taxi)
There are a few exceptions e.g.: clothes, sports, men. Women.
Some compound nouns are written as one word e.g.: toothbrush, some are written with a hyphen (-) e.g.: tin-opener, and some are written as two words e.g. shoe shop.
Some compound nouns can be written as one word, or with a hyphen, or as two words e.g.: babysitter, baby-sitter (but there are no clear rules about this).
Some compound nouns are formed with an –ingform + noun, or an adjective + noun.
a shopping bag a waiting room drinking water a greenhouse (= a building made of glass, uses for growing plants).
2. We normally form plurals of compound nouns by adding –(e)s to the second world.
a shoe shop / shoe shops
a toothbrush / two toothbrushes
But not that compounds ending in –in-law add –s to the second world.
one brother –in-law / two brothers –in-law
my mother –in-law / some mothers –in-law
A few other compound nouns also add –s to the first word e.g. passer-by / person who happens ‘by chance’ to pass by a place
a passer-by / some passers-by
Exercise 1
