Compound adjectives are formed by combining two or more words to create a single descriptive term. They can be:
* Hyphenated: *well-behaved*, *high-quality*, *state-of-the-art*
* Solid (no hyphen): *worldwide*, *homesick*, *waterproof*
Important things to remember about compound adjectives:
* Hyphenation rules: Hyphens are generally used when the compound adjective precedes the noun it modifies. If the compound adjective follows the noun, hyphens are usually dropped.
* *She has a well-behaved dog.* (Before the noun)
* *The dog was well behaved.* (After the noun)
* Context matters: The meaning of a compound adjective can sometimes change depending on how it's used. For example, *long-term* can refer to something lasting a long time, but *long term* can refer to a plan or goal.
