THE COMPOUND ADJECTIVES: A LESSON FOR BAC STUDENTS
What is a Compound Adjective?
A compound adjective is made up of more than one word, typically linked by a hyphen.
Examples of compound adjectives include "hard-working," "left-handed," "old-fashioned," and "good-looking."
Difference Between Regular and Compound Adjectives
Regular adjectives consist of only one word, such as "big," "small," "beautiful."
Compound adjectives consist of two or more words, like "hard-working" or "good-looking," and are usually linked by hyphens.
Forming Compound Adjectives
Adjective + Noun + "ed"
Example: "Kind-hearted" (from "kind" + "heart").
The adjective remains the same, and the noun is modified with "ed" to form the compound adjective.
Adverb + Verb + "ing"
Example: "Hard-working" (from "hard" + "working").
The verb is changed to its "ing" form, and the order of the words is reversed from the original sentence.
Adjective + Noun + "ed"
Example: "Blue-eyed" (from "blue" + "eye").
The plural form of the noun is converted to singular before adding "ed."
Number + Year + "Old"
Example: "17-year-old" (from "17 years old").
The plural "years" is changed to singular "year," followed by "old."
Number + Noun
Example: "Five-star hotel" (from "five stars").
The noun remains singular even though the number implies plural.
Adverb + Past Participle
Example: "Well-known" (from "well" + "known").
Adjective + Noun
Example: "Last-minute decision" (from "last" + "minute").
