What is a compound noun?

A compound noun is formed when two or more words are combined to create a single noun. Typically, these words are written together, joined by a hyphen, or separated as individual words. Compound nouns can consist of various combinations such as noun + noun (e.g. toothpaste), adjective + noun (e.g. darkroom), verb + noun (e.g. swimming pool), or gerund + noun (e.g. washing machine).

Can you provide an example of a possessive noun?

How do gerunds function as nouns?

Gerunds function as nouns by serving as the subject of a sentence, the object of a verb or preposition, or as a predicate noun after a linking verb. They can also function as the object of a verb or preposition, and can be modified by adjectives and other words that typically modify nouns. Overall, gerunds take on the role of a noun while also retaining some characteristics of a verb, allowing them to express actions or states while acting as subjects or objects within a sentence.
