In the bustling city, a ten-story skyscraper dominated the skyline, its sleek glass façade reflecting the vibrant energy of urban life. Down the street, a two-lane highway led to a five-star restaurant, renowned for its mouthwatering fusion cuisine and impeccable service. Inside, a state-of-the-art kitchen boasted cutting-edge appliances, ensuring the chefs delivered top-notch culinary creations. The twenty-minute wait for a table felt like a mere heartbeat as we marveled at the elegant decor and friendly ambiance. The four-course meal that followed was a gastronomic delight, leaving us utterly satisfied. As the evening unfolded, a live jazz band played soothing melodies, adding a perfect touch to the five-star dining experience. With a satisfied heart and a full stomach, we strolled along the city's well-lit streets, relishing the memories of a truly memorable night out.
NUMBER + NOUN This construction is often used with nouns of measurement, such as foot, metre, mile, pound, kilogram, second, minute, hour, pound, dollar, etc.. Use a singular noun:Remember adjectives have no plural form in English:
A two-days journey A two-day journey
Use a hyphen to connect the number to the noun that follows it. This allows the reader to know that both words function as a unit that modifies the noun after it:
- A 30-minute show
- A two-day journey
- A 50-metre pool
- An eight-core processor
- A two-bedroom apartmentute show Am apartment
Sometimes, a compound adjective is made up of more than one word: - A 10-million-dollar house - A seven-year-old child - A eleven-year-old girl te show Am apartment
Number + part of the body (-ed)When we use a number + noun as a compound adjective and the noun is a part of the body, then we have to add -ed after the part of the body. - A three-legged table - A seven-headed dragon - A one-eyed monster - A four-armed robot
Compound adjectives are made of two or more words: - a well-dressed man - a part-time job - a first-class train ticket.
We should join the different words in a compound adjective with a hyphen (-) to show that they go together and are part of the same idea.
