Compound adjectives: B2-intermediate:

Compound adjectives:

combine two or more words (often hyphenated) to act as a single adjective before a noun, crucial for descriptive fluency. Key structures include adjective/noun + participle (e.g., hard-working, time-consuming), noun + adjective (e.g., sugar-free), or number + noun (e.g., 10-year-old), frequently using hyphens to avoid ambiguity.
