Question

Choose whether the following is true or false:
'I live in an English-speaking country.'
In the quoted sentence, 'English-speaking' is an adjective and we use a hyphen to connect the word English with speaking to show that it is one adjective.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A compound adjective is formed when two or more words are joined together to form an adjective to modify the same noun. They are joined with a hyphen (-). In the given sentence, English and speaking are two separate words joined with a hyphen to form a single adjective 'English-speaking'. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
