<strong>Generalization</strong>:<br />
Compound Words<br />
A compound word is a word formed from two or more smaller words. The meaning <strong>of</strong> a<br />
compound word is related to the meaning <strong>of</strong> the smaller words within it.<br />
There are three types <strong>of</strong> compound words:<br />
•closed: the smaller words form one whole word (baseball)<br />
•open: the smaller words are separated by a space (milk shake)<br />
•hyphenated: the smaller words are joined by a hyphen (twenty-five)<br />
Infrequently, a letter may be dropped in forming a compound word (almost, also).<br />
Do not leave out a letter when the last and beginning letters <strong>of</strong> the smaller words are the<br />
same (roommate)<br />
