    Introduction to Noun
     A noun is a part of speech that is used to name a person, place,
    thing, quality, or action.
     A noun can function as a subject, object, complement,
    appositive, or object of a preposition.
     Types of Noun:
     Abstract noun / Concrete nouns
     Animate nouns/Inanimate noun
     Collective noun
     Common noun / Proper nouns
     Compound nouns
     Countable (or count) nouns / Uncountable (or non count)
    nouns

    What is a Compound Noun?
     Compound nouns are words for people, animals, places, things,
    or ideas, made up of two or more words. Most compound nouns
    are made with nouns that have been modified by adjectives or
    other nouns.
    Example:
    Underworld
    Mother-in-law
    Check-out
    Haircut
    Washing machine
    Breakfast
    Software

    Types of Compound Nouns
     The solid or closed forms in which two usually
    moderately short words appear together as one. Examples:
    housewife, lawsuit, wallpaper, basketball, etc.
     The hyphenated form in which two or more words are
    connected by a hyphen. This category includes compounds
    that contain suffixes, such as house-build(er) and single-
    mind(ed)(ness). Compounds that contain articles,
    prepositions or conjunctions, such as rent-a-cop
    and mother-of-pearl, are also often hyphenated.
     The open or spaced form consisting of newer
    combinations of usually longer words, such as distance
    learning, player piano, lawn tennis, etc.

    Plurals
     The process of making compound nouns plural has its
    own set of conventions to follow. In all forms of
    compound nouns, we pluralize the chief element of a
    compound word (i.e., we pluralize the primary noun of the
    compound).
     fisherman → fishermen
     black bird → black birds
     brother-in-law → brothers-in-law
     The word hand-me-down doesn’t have a distinct primary
    noun, so its plural is hand-me-downs.
