2) Compound adjectives Compound adjectives are adjectives that are composed of more than a single word.They are usually formed with the use of a hyphen: e.g.long-term, Oscar-winning, high-performing.Compound adjectives are more of a compact way to modify a head noun than an attributive clause.In formal writing, compound adjectives are sometimes used in succeion before a noun to add impact to the description.Compound adjectives are useful for expreing new complex concepts and will make language structures simpler and easier to use.
