Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify different nouns.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

An adjective is a word that describes something. As the name suggests a compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. For example ‘beautiful red dress” in which adjectives ‘beautiful’ and ‘red’ are both used to describe the noun ‘dress’. Hence the given statement is false because they modify the same noun and not different nouns.
