Compound adjectives.
​

Compound adjectives are adjectives made from two or more words. They describe a noun as one idea.

When a compound adjective stands before a noun, we usually use a hyphen:

• a well-known actor
• a ten-year-old boy
• a blue-eyed girl
• a part-time job

If it comes after the noun, the hyphen is often not used:

The actor is well known.
