In this English lesson we’re going to explore compound nouns. These are nouns that are created by combining two words to form a single idea. In particular, we’ll focus on open compound nouns, which are written with a space between the words.

During this English class you’ll learn useful examples such as: wedding reception, juice box, guest room, window frame, window pane, award ceremony, travel agent, bus stop, bowling alley, birthday cake, hospital bed, movie theatre, coffee shop, and many others.

I hope you find this English lesson on compound nouns both helpful and enjoyable. Have a wonderful day!
