Examples of 100 compounds words
Your kids may ask “what are Compound words?”
Compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning. It’s literally just the process of additions; only it’s in English!
For example, “sun” and “flower” are two very different words with their own distinct meanings but when you fuse them together, they form another word, “Sunflower”. Compound words are formed by either adding a hyphen in the middle or simply just using the two words as a single term. The spelling of the two words is not necessarily changed when they are joined together, but the definition becomes unique. There are three types of compound words for kids in this compound words worksheet;
Closed Compound words: These words are written as a single word, such as haircut, newspaper, grandmother, etc.
Open Compounds: Compound words that are written as separate words such as high school, living room, school bus, etc.
Hyphenated Compounds: Words that use a hyphen in between two words, such as well-known, second-rate, merry-go-round, etc
