Notes:

  • Compound Nouns typically form plurals by adding -s or -es to the end of the last word.
  • Compound Adjectives often do not change in plural form, as they describe qualities rather than quantities.
  • Compound Verbs may vary; some take -s or -es while others remain unchanged in plural form
