What is a Compound Noun

Compound nouns are words for people, animals, places, things, or ideas, made up of two or more words. Most
compound nouns are made with nouns that have been modified by adjectives or other nouns.
In many compound nouns, the first word describes or modifies the second word, giving us insight into what kind of
thing an item is, or providing us with clues about the items purpose. The second word usually identifies the item.
Compound nouns are sometimes one word, like toothpaste, haircut, or bedroom. These are often referred to as
closed or solid compound nouns.
Sometimes compound nouns are connected with a hyphen: dry-cleaning, daughter-in-law, and well-being are some
examples of hyphenated compound nouns.
Sometimes compound nouns appear as two separate words: full moon, Christmas tree, and swimming pool are
some examples of compound nouns that are formed with two separate words. These are often referred to as open
or spaced compound nouns.

Compound Noun Examples

The more you read and write, the more compound noun examples youll encounter. The following sentences are
just a few examples of compound nouns. Compound noun examples have been italicized for easy identification.
Compound nouns can be made with two nouns:
Lets just wait at this bus stop.
I love watching fireflies on warm summer nights.
While youre at the store, please pick up some toothpaste, a six-pack of ginger ale, and some egg rolls.
Compound nouns can be made with an adjective and a noun:
Lets watch the full moon come up over the mountain.
Please erase the blackboard for me.
Compound nouns can be made with a verb and a noun:
Be sure to add bleach to the washing machine.
Lets be sure to stay somewhere with a swimming pool.
