Compound words are words made by combining two words. Mainly three types of compound words are used.
- Open compound words: These words are written separately but give the meaning of a single word. Like Ice cream=Ice+Cream
- Close compound words: These words are written in the form of a single word and give the meaning of a single word. Like butterfly=Butter+fly
- Hyphenated compound words: In this, two or three words are combined using a hyphen to give a single meaning. Like up-to-date and two-fold.
