Hello guys, welcome back to this English course on nouns.

In today's video, I'm going to tell you about compound nouns.

程度の副詞

They are very common in English and there are thousands of them.

A compound noun is made up of two different words.

So you take two words, you put them together, to create a new noun.

They're usually quite easy to understand.

'Full' is obviously the adjective describing the moon.

Let's take a look at other examples, and how to create compound nouns.

Sometimes, compound nouns are a single noun.

Sometimes, they're two or more words hyphenated.

And sometimes, they're two separate words, like 'ice cream'.

Sometimes, you have a simple adjective plus a noun like 'a green house'.

But you also have a compound noun which is a different meaning.

Now, 'a green house', is a house which is green.

But the compound noun, 'a greenhouse', is a place where you grow plants.

Usually the stress is on the first syllable in compound nouns.

Let's take a closer look now at compound nouns.

Ok, let's now take a look at the parts of speech that make up a compound noun.

As you can see guys, there are so many ways to create compound nouns with different words.

Now let's get back to our example for pronunciation.

Now let's now move on to plural compound nouns.

So when we want to make compound nouns plural, there are rules to follow.

If you have a single word, you simply add an 's'.

But if you have separate words, whether hyphenated or not, you will make the most significant

So we will say, 'there are two swimming pools'.

You cannot say, 'there are two swimmings pools.'

Brother-in-law What's the most significant word?

So you will say, “I have two brothers-in-law”.

Remember, the plural form of 'woman' is 'women'.

So we will say, “Four women doctors work at the hospital”.

And finally, Four women doctors work at the hospital.

And I want you to tell me if we are using compound nouns or not.
