Hello teachers,
Is there a rule that helps with the spelling of compound nouns and ajectives ?
When should the compound words be written separetely, hyphenated or attached ?
example:
a headmaster / head-master / head master
a bookcase / book-case
a homemade / home made cake
a pale looking / pale-looking woman
well educated women
fast growing population
a twelve storey building
a first class seat
fame seeking artists
a pain relieving tablet
crime fighting measures
Thank you for your help.
