Compound Words
A compound word is a combination of two or more words that function as a single unit of meaning.
There are three different types of compound words:
Closed form: Two words are joined together to create a new meaning (flowerpot, softball, keyboard, makeup, notebook).
Hyphenated form: Words are joined together by a hyphen (daughter-in-law, over-the-counter, merry-go-round).
Open form: Words are open but when reading together, a new meaning is formed (school bus, post office, real estate, full moon).
