Isi artikel

A non compound is a grammatical structure in which nouns are linkd together to indicate a new concept. Adjectives are used in english to describe the characteristics of nouns, for example, a long table, a broken table, or a painted table. Nouns is noun compounds can also serve this function, through they ussually describe categories rather than characteristics, for example, a metal table, a picnic table, or a card table. Noun compounds consisting of two nouns occur in many everday activities, for example, dinner plate, tooth brush, dish cloth, vool shelf, hair clip, and raincoat. A few noun compounds are written as one word, though most are written separately. In american english today, noun compounds are usually not hyphenated. There are no rules that can tell you when to write a noun compound as a single word ; if one is not sure, the only solution is to chech a dictionary or a speller.
