Nouns 03 - Compound Nouns
We have learnt in our English classes that nouns play an important role in understanding the language. We have also learnt that nouns can be classified into different types such as common nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns and compound nouns. In this quiz we study compound nouns.
Compound nouns, as their name suggests, are made up of two words and can be formed by using various combinations of nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and adverbs. The meaning of the compound word could be different from either of the two other words used to make it or it could have some relation to the two words. Here are some examples:
