Answer 2

A compound noun is a noun that is formed by a combination of more than one part of speech.

• Compound nouns are of three main types:

Open or spaced compound nouns, hyphenated compound nouns and closed or solid compound nouns.

1. Spaced or Open Compound Noun :

• A spaced or open compound noun is one in which there is a space between the two words which form the compound noun.

• For example : Cricket bat , Fast food , Flower shop

     2. Hyphenated Compound Nouns :

• A hyphenated compound noun is one in which the two words are separated with the use of a hyphen.

• For example : By-product , Mother-in-law , Passer-by

      3. Closed or Solid Compound Nouns :

• A closed or solid compound noun is one in which the two words do not have any spaces or hyphens separating them. They are usually considered as a single word.

• For example : Sunflower , Classroom , Rainfall

Thus, we can form compound nouns by combining different parts of speech. All compound nouns, though belonging to different parts of speech, perform the same function as a noun.
