Today, we are going to study compound words. Copyright © 2012 Kelly Mott

A compound word is a word made up of two shorter words. Copyright © 2012 Kelly Mott

Compound words can be written as a single word ex: playground notebook Copyright © 2012 Kelly Mott

Compound words can be written as two words ex: full moon post office Copyright © 2012 Kelly Mott

Compound words can be written as a hyphenated word ex: mass-produced shell-like

To determine the meaning of a compound word, break the word into its two recognizable base words.

Example: A mountain is one kind of landmark. In this sentence I see two short words that I know. Land – part of the earth Mark – a spot or something noticeable Landmark must mean a large or important feature on the earth.
