Compound words in English are formed by combining two or more words, usually nouns or adjectives. There are three forms of compound words: closed form with the words joined together like "firefly"; hyphenated form like "daughter-in-law"; and open form with separate words like "post office". Compound nouns are formed by joining a noun modified by another noun or adjective, such as "toothpaste" from "tooth + paste". Compound adjectives are made up of two or more words usually joined by hyphens, like "English-speaking".

Direct object
The document discusses direct and indirect objects in sentences. A direct object receives the action of the verb, and can be identified by asking "what" or "who" after the verb. An indirect object is usually a person that the action is done to or for, and frequently comes between the verb and direct object. It can be identified by asking "to whom" or "to what" after the verb. Sometimes the indirect object comes after the direct object, in which case "for" or "to" is used to indicate the indirect object. The document provides examples of sentences identifying the direct and indirect objects. It also shows how to rewrite sentences by moving the indirect object and adding "for" or "to".
Nouns
Nouns name people, places, things, ideas, or actions. There are different types of nouns including concrete nouns that name tangible things and abstract nouns that name intangible concepts. Nouns can also be collective, proper, or common. Nouns form their plurals in various ways depending on their ending, such as adding -s, -es, or changing spelling. Derived nouns are formed by adding suffixes to verbs and adjectives.

Compound nouns
Compound nouns are made up of two or more words that act as a single unit. They can be open, hyphenated, or closed. Common types are noun+noun or adjective+noun combinations, but there are other possibilities. It is important to understand compound nouns because they are treated as single units that can be modified by other words. Examples include bus stop, fire-fly, football, full moon, blackboard, and software. Stress is usually on the first word to distinguish compound nouns from other constructions.
English Grammar: Pronouns

Active Voice & Passive Voice
Verbs are either in active or passive voice. We use Active Voice most of the time. Active Voice has subject first and object second. In the Active Voice, the object receives the action of the verb. In Passive Voice it is the opposite. In the Passive Voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In the Active Voice, the subject and verb relationship is straightforward; the subject is the do-er (of the action). In the Passive Voice, the subject of the sentence is not a do-er (of the action). Passive voice is used when the action is the focus, not the subject.

There are three main types of compound nouns: closed compounds with no space between words like bedroom; hyphenated compounds like daughter-in-law; and open compounds with a space like swimming pool. Compound nouns can be formed in many ways including noun+noun, adjective+noun, verb+noun, and preposition+noun combinations. The meaning of a compound noun may be different than the individual words.
Morphology

A compound word is made up of two words whose combined meaning is different from the individual words. Some compound nouns combine two short words, like "seashore" and "sunlight", while others use a hyphen like "mother-in-law". Compound words can also be written as two separate words.
What is a noun
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, idea or concept. There are more nouns in English than any other type of word. Nouns can be singular or plural, common or proper, concrete or abstract, and compound. The document provides examples and rules for forming plural nouns and describes different types of nouns.
What’s morphology
Morphology is the study of word structure and formation. It analyzes words into their smallest meaningful parts called morphemes. Morphemes can be free or bound - free morphemes can stand alone as words while bound morphemes must be attached to other morphemes. There are several word formation processes including affixation, compounding, blending, clipping, and conversion. The addition of affixes can be inflectional, changing word form but not class, or derivational, changing a word's meaning and class.
Nouns
The document defines nouns and their types and provides examples. It explains that nouns name people, places, things, and ideas.

The document also discusses how to form the plural and possessive forms of nouns and lists exceptions to standard rules.
Chapter seven - lecture 8
1. Notional concord refers to agreement of verb with subject based on meaning rather than actual grammatical number. Collective nouns like "the public" are notionally plural but grammatically singular.
2. A coordinated subject consists of two or more noun phrases joined by "and". It can be appositional, where the verb is singular, or non-appositional where reduction is possible and the verb is plural.
3. With coordinated modifiers before a single noun, the verb is plural. A clause composed of two structures takes a plural verb. Agreement depends on number and position of nouns with "either/or" and "neither/nor".
Chapter 2 using nouns in sentences
This chapter discusses different types of nouns including common and proper nouns, collective nouns, compound nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, singular and plural nouns, irregular plural nouns, and possessive nouns. The key lessons teach how to identify and form the different types of nouns, capitalization rules for proper nouns, and using apostrophes to form possessive nouns. The overall goal is to help students properly use nouns in their writing and speaking.
Parts of speech.. Noun,pronoun..
The document discusses the different types of parts of speech in the English language. It focuses on nouns and pronouns. There are eight main parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Nouns can be common or proper, countable or uncountable, compound, possessive, gender-specific, verbal, and more. Pronouns are used in place of nouns and include personal, possessive, reflexive, relative, demonstrative, indefinite, interrogative, reciprocal, and intensive pronouns. Understanding parts of speech is essential for proper use of language.
Presentation of nouns
Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. There are two main types of nouns: common nouns, which name any person, place or thing; and proper nouns, which begin with a capital letter and name a specific person, place, or thing. Nouns can also be classified as concrete if they name something tangible, or abstract if they name an intangible concept. There are several other types of nouns including compound nouns formed from multiple words, and collective nouns that name a group. Nouns function as subjects and objects in sentences.

Lecture 22
The document discusses different types of lexical relationships between words including prototypes, homophones, homonyms, polysemy, metonymy, and collocation. A prototype is the most characteristic example of a category, like a robin is the prototype of "bird". Homophones have the same pronunciation but different meanings and spellings, like "bare" and "bear". Homonyms have the same spelling but different unrelated meanings, like "bank" referring to a river or financial institution. Polysemy involves one word having multiple related meanings, like "head" referring to a person or top of an object. Metonymy uses one closely related word to represent another, like "the bottle" meaning its contents.

Ppt compound nouns and adjectives
- 1. COMPOUND WORDS By Anett Pendás
- 2. COMPOUND WORDS In English, words, particularly adjectives and nouns, are combined into compound structures in a variety of ways. And once they are formed, they sometimes metamorphose over time. A common pattern is that two words — fire fly, say — will be joined by a hyphen for a time — fire-fly — and then be joined into one word — firefly. There are three forms of compound words: the closed form, in which the words are melded together, such as firefly, secondhand, softball, childlike, crosstown, redhead, keyboard, makeup, notebook; the hyphenated form, such as daughter-in-law, master-at- arms, over-the-counter, six-pack, six-year-old, mass- produced; and the open form, such as post office, real estate, middle class, full moon, half sister, attorney general.
- 3. Compound Nouns A compound noun is a noun that is made up of two or more words. Most compound nouns in English are formed by nouns modified by other nouns or adjectives. For example: The words tooth and paste are each nouns in their own right, but if you join them together they form a new word - toothpaste. The word black is an adjective and board is a noun, but if you join them together they form a new word - blackboard. In both these example the first word modifies or describes the second word, telling us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is. And the second part identifies the object or person in question.
- 4. Compound nouns can also be formed using the following combinations of words:- Noun + Noun toothpaste Adjective + Noun monthly ticket Verb + Noun swimming pool Preposition + Noun underground Noun + Verb haircut Noun + Preposition hanger on Adjective +Verb dry-cleaning Preposition + Verb output
- 5. The two parts may be written in a number of ways:- 1. Sometimes the two words are joined together. Example: tooth + paste = toothpaste | bed + room = bedroom 2. Sometimes they are joined using a hyphen. Example: check-in 3. Sometimes they appear as two separate words. Example: full moon
- 6. Compound Adjectives Compound adjectives are adjectives that are made up of two or more words usually with hyphens (-) between them. Examples: An English-speaking country. A time-saving gadget. A thirty-floor building.
