NOUNS

One-word nouns:

A noun tells us what someone or something is called. For example, a noun can be the name of a person (John); a job title (doctor); the name of a thing (radio); the name of a place (London); the name of a quality (courage); or the name of an action (laughter/laughing). Nouns are the names we give to people, things, places, etc. in order to identify them.Nouns and noun phrases answer the question Who? or What? and may be:

- subject of a verb:
Our agent in Cairo sent a telex this morning.

- the direct object of a verb:
Frank sent an urgent telex from Cairo this morning.

- the indirect object of a verb:
Frank sent his boss a telex.

- the object of a proposition:
I read about it in the paper.

- the complement of be or a related verb like seem:
Bill Gates is our guest.

- used 'in apposition':
Laura Myers, a BBC reporter, asked for an interview.

- used when we speak directly to somebody:
Ann, shut that window, will you please?

Compound nouns:

Many nouns in English are formed of two parts (classroom) or, less commonly, three or more (son-in-law, stick-in-the-mud).Sometimes compounds are spelt with a hyphen, sometimes not. There are no precise rules, so the following are brief guidelines:

1. When two short nouns are joined together, they form one word without a hyphen (a teacup). We do not join two short nouns if this leads to problems of recognition: bus stop (not busstop).
2. Hyphens are often used for verb + particle combinations (make-up) and self-combinations (self-respect)...
