    Hi teacher, thanks so much, I've been searching for a lesson like this quite a while, and found many but this is the best one.
    Many questions about " compound adjectives" have been answered today.
    Miss, I've watched a lesson about ' compound adjectives" produced by " BBC learning English" and they said " we don't add a hyphen if an adverb ends with " ly" and a noun comes before a compound adjectives, and all the numbers between 20 and 99 must be hyphenated
    So what i understand is that we can form compound adjectives like this:
    adj or noun or adverb + pp+ NOUN
    adj or noun or adverb + present participle+ NOUN
    Hyphenated adjectives+ NOUN
    Hyphenated nouns + NOUN
    Hyphenated numbers + NOUN
    And all the hyphenated words are adjective of the noun that follows.
    Here it is an example for each case:
    Brown-eyed man
    Space-backed fighters
    Well-done presentation
    Street-cleaning man
    Hard-winnig game
    Can we say:
    Hard-winning football game?
    Great-teaching teacher ( I don't know whether or not this compound adjective is correct)
    Blow-bright sky
    Smith-George theory
    Two-hundred-page.book
    And
    I hope that my examples are correct.

      Thank you for posting your comment. It's a very good one, and I'm going to pin this to the top because I need to clarify an important point. You're actually right that "a brightly lit" room is often written WITHOUT the hyphen (even before the head noun). It probably wasn't the best example to give. I apologize. However, you still may encounter its use. For example, look at the caption of a photo published by USA Today. They use "brightly-lit" as a compound modifier. www.usatoday.com/media/cinematic/video/2936287002/las-vegas-snow-makes-brightly-lit-strip-look-dreamy/
      I also think it's hard to come up with rules that use the word "never," such as never use a hyphen with adverbs that end in -ly. How do you explain these dictionary entries if that rule is true?
      www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/tightly-knit
      www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/slightly-built
      My instinct was to hyphenate the compound: a brightly-lit room, but I can't find many other examples in published works confirming this pattern.
      It's mostly about trying our best to be consistent. I also have read the rule about using the hyphen when the compound modifier comes before the noun, but not when it follows a linking verb. (It's a brightly-lit room. / The kitchen was brightly lit.)
      In general, when it comes to grammar rules, one resource may say DO and another will say DON'T. That's when I look through the search results of trusted sources (major newspapers, etc.) to see what the standard is.
      Your examples look good overall, but I'm not sure what a "space-backed fighter" is.
      I'm also not familiar with "street-cleaning man," and it seems more natural to say "a street cleaner."
      Remember the difference I noted between present and past participles? If a team won a game, then "game" is the object. We can focus on that in a passive sentence: The game was won. We use the past participle because it carries that passive meaning, so the better description, in my opinion, is "a hard-won game."
      With the example about the teacher, I'd use a different structure: a great teacher. Otherwise, it sounds too repetitive.
      I'd also keep it simple in the example about the sky: a bright sky.

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  5 лет назад +4

      One more short note: I'd personally use "tight-knit" as a modifier, not "tightly-knit," but again it's about trying to be consistent. www.learnersdictionary.com/definition/tight-knit

      About " space-backed-fighters
      It is an imaginary expression, and it means fighters supported by the space.
      I know it's ridiculous to say that , but i wanted to know if it's grammatically correct, the same thing with " street-cleaning man" and ' great-teaching teacher".
      I will chick out the websites you mentioned in your response.
      In the end, i think that there are many expressions we have to take or accept them as they are like

      Note: Remember that most of the time adverbs will be adverbs, and you won't need hyphens. If you look at the pinned comment on this video, you'll see a discussion about adverbs ending in -ly. So you can talk about watching things regularly or regularly watching things. We don't need to use a hyphen with a verb phrase like "regularly watch your tutorials," and many would not hyphenate the noun phrase "regularly scheduled programming." But other adverbs in a compound would use a hyphen consistently: a well-behaved child, a well-read person, etc. Hope that makes sense.

      Reducing clauses can happen when the subjects in both clauses are the same, and the relationship between clauses must be clearly understood. That's why in some cases we keep the adverb like "before" or "while":

An interesting point came up with adverbs ending in -ly. Language is indeed malleable, and we're also not always consistent as a global community, and this causes some disagreement. But as long as we try to have standards and we are open to variation, then communication should be successful. :)
      Thanks for adding more examples: ready-made, hot-selling.

    I have a couple of questions if you don't mind :
    1- Should we always combine the ending 'ed' with body parts concerning compound adjectives ?
    2- Is it grammatically correct that compound adjectives whose first modifier which is an adverb with 'ly' isn't supposed to be separated by hyphen along with the second modifier ?

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  5 лет назад +1

      Hi.
      (1) Compound modifiers with body parts aren't all that common, but the general pattern is to use the -ed ending:
      a one-eyed pirate
      a three-legged table
      a one-armed soldier
      a web-footed bird
      (2) Again, let's talk about patterns and not rules. I was taught to hyphenate compound modifiers before a noun, but I recently took the time to look at many results online, and I see the general trend is not to use hyphens in compound modifiers with -ly adverbs.
      Do a Google search for "heavily armed soldiers" and filter for News. The first 10 results include some major news sources, but only one (ABC news) chose to hyphenate the modifier. Here are results from the British National Corpus. www.just-the-word.com/main.pl?word=heavily&mode=combinations Look at the first cluster with adverbs as part of the modifiers before the head noun. Click on a phrase like "heavily armed" to see it used before a noun.

    This is a very good lesson which helps clear up the mystery regarding hyphenated adjectives. We saw how the hyphenated groups of words all modified each other and were very closely linked. This one wouldn't be hyphenated as there is no link between the adjectives: 'A funny tall man has appeared on my television screen.' The words 'fast' and 'car' don't get hyphenated in this example: 'A fast car is required.' However, this one does get hyphenated; 'A fast-moving car is required.'

      @@Englishwithjennifer Yes, I think this subject has a lot of mileage in it. I really like the lesson.
      Jennifer, what is your opinion of this: Given that adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs and are not known for modifying nouns, why do they act like adjectives in these examples: There are some people here. I will take a few things with me. Can we say that in these examples the adverb is acting as an adjective?

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  5 лет назад +1

      In the first: "There are some people here." Are you focusing on "here"? I'd recognize that as an adverbial.

    • @stunninglad1
      @stunninglad1 5 лет назад

      @@Englishwithjennifer Right. The questions the adverbs ask and answer are: how, where, why and when, but they also acts as quantifiers. So, 'some' is acting in unison with 'here' in my first example (There are some people here) and 'few' is acting in unison with 'will take' in my other example (I will take a few things) There are? There are what? There are some. 'Some' would act in unison with 'are' in this example: There are some people in class. This would vary from these example: 'There are three people in class' and There are helpful students in class.'
      It doesn't stop with 'some' when we look at adverbs of quantity: loads of, plenty, enough, many, few, etc, etc. We could say that the adverbial quantifiers are giving a vague quantity; whereas, the actual adjectives like three, twelve, thirty are giving an exact description. Having said that, collective nouns can be a bit vague also: 'There is a crowd outside' and 'I will take a bunch.'

      Hi. I noted these earlier requests, particularly the modal verbs and prepositions. Little by little, we can address more grammar. :)
      There are many decent grammar books out there. Do you want one for self-study? I think you might also like a detailed grammar reference book, one that teachers use. Many teachers turn to The Grammar Book and Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English.

    Dear Teacher,
    Are compound modifiers always considered singular?
    Thanks!

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  4 года назад +1

      Compound modifiers are like adjectives, so we don't talk about plural or singular. However, if you build a modifier from a noun, then usually the singular is used: a computer program (not "computers program"), teacher training (not "teachers training"), etc.

      Hi. I think a subject is missing in your statement. Who created them? I think it's logical to use the passive: They were created in the image of God. Or use "God" as the agent: God created him in His image. "Create" is transitive; it requires an object.

I have understoold participle's role as adjective and noun, but how about its role as adverb?

    Ma'm it is said that Quantifier is a kind of determiner but what confuses me is that few grammar links show determiners as modifiers. For example a site says "that" is the modifier in noun phrase "that dog" while other sites quote demonstrative adjectives as determiners. Is there any easy way to distinguish between them or it is ok to use these terms interchangeably? Kindly guide me so that I never confuse these terms.

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  5 лет назад +1

      Hi. Most think of adjectives and adverbs being modifiers. We can also have noun modifiers and prepositional phrases as modifiers (acting like adjective or adverbs). Not all agree on terminology. Did you see my 3-part lesson on the parts of speech? See my grammar playlist. Quantifiers are often grouped under determiners. I think it's helpful to separate determiners from modifiers, but again, not all sources agree.
