Does anyone have a good list of compound nouns suitable for Junior High School?
Even though English is my mother tongue, I never know which words are kept separate, which are joined and which take a hyphen.
Can someone clear this up for me?
Thanks, Barbara

Dear Barbara! You can find some rules and exercises in the book "English Vocabulary In Use"(pre-intermediate and intermediate level) by Stuart Redman. You can download the book from englishtips.org
