Question

Choose whether the following statement is true or false:
A compound adjective is sometimes called a hyphenated adjective.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. A compound adjective can be formed using different forms of speech, which along with another adjective function as a compound adjective. For example ‘world-famous’, in which ‘world’ is a noun and ‘famous’ is an adjective. We use a hyphen between two or more words which act as a compound adjective that describes a single idea, i.e. noun, to avoid confusion between the words. Therefore often compound adjectives are called as a hyphenated adjective. Thus the statement is true.
