Resumen

Compound Adjectives: Creating New Words

Puntos clave

Los adjetivos son palabras que se utilizan para describir las cosas con más precisión. Los compound adjectives son adjetivos compuestos por más de una palabra.

Info 1: Compound Adjectives

Los adjetivos compuestos o compound adjectives están formados por dos o más palabras que, al combinarlas, forman un solo adjetivo. Dado que los adjetivos son invariables en género y número y deben colocarse antes de un sustantivo, todas las palabras que forman el compound adjective se añaden delante del sustantivo en cuestión.

Ejemplos

Her parents invited her to take a well-deserved holiday

He is a world-famous actor

Info 2: Possible Combinations

Existen varias combinaciones para crear estos adjetivos, pero la más común es un numeral junto a un sustantivo.

COMBINATIONS	EXAMPLES
adjective + noun	high-quality
adjective + present participle	good-looking
adjective + past participle	old-fashioned
noun + present participle	mouth-watering
noun + past participle	sun-dried
number + noun	ten-minute
noun + adjective	sugar-free
noun + noun	bulletproof
adverb + past participle	overpopulated

Info 3: Spelling Rules

Los compound adjectives pueden escribirse en una sola palabra (como overcooked) o en dos palabras unidas por un guion (como dark-haired). Cuando empieza por los adverbios over o under, no se une mediante guion. Al escribir la combinación number + noun, el sustantivo va siempre en singular.

Ejemplos

In my opinion, this restaurant is underestimated

She had to read a fifty-page document
