Vocabulary 08 - Compound Words formed from 'Head'
The English language has eight parts of speech, two of which - nouns and verbs - play important roles, as they are always found in sentences. Other parts of speech, such as adjectives and adverbs, are almost as important if you want to communicate effectively.
We have learnt that nouns are classified into different types, such as single nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns and compound nouns. While the other types of nouns are by and large stand-alone words, compound nouns are formed by making use of two other words. Compound words are made without changing the original words in any way. Usually, two base words are placed side by side and a new word is formed.
