Let's learn about compound words in English! This is when two or more words come together, making a new word that functions as a single word.
Compound words can be:
- - nouns: ice cream, mailbox, merry-go-round
- - verbs: babysit, take off, double-check
- - adjectives: long-term, homemade, bulletproof
- - adverbs: singlehandedly, self-consciously
- - prepositions: inside, without
As you can see from those examples of compound words, there are three types:
- - "Open" compound words (with a space between them) police officer, hot dog, high school
- - "Closed" compound words (without a space between them) bedroom, popcorn, firefighter
- - Hyphenated compound words well-dressed, self-esteem, mother-in-law
Today I'll teach you 30 compound words - some you might already know, but others will be new to you. And I've prepared a free PDF with 100 compound words, each one with a definition and example sentence - I highly recommend you download it to expand your vocabulary even more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
