Nouns 05 - Compound Nouns
The different parts of speech are fundamental to learning English and nouns are a very important part. Nouns help you to identify your friends or pets. Nouns help you to convey an idea to someone or express your feelings for someone. Nouns are classified into different types such as common nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns and compound nouns.
FIRE is a single noun and so is WOOD. Now, combining these two words we get FIREWOOD, which becomes a compound noun. Have you not done a CARTWHEEL to impress your friends? How do you think the word CARTWHEEL was formed? Yes! The word is a compound noun formed from two single nouns, CART and WHEEL. In this quiz you will learn to form compound nouns from single nouns.

The compound noun so formed should make sense. Thus, 'coffeehouse' is the compound noun we are looking for. A coffeehouse is a place where people drink coffee
