LONGER COMPOUND NOUNS
         Two or more nouns can be put with another
         noun to modify it. This structure is common
         in newspaper headlines in order to save space.










                   This means “the capture of the ringleader
                   of the bank robbery“ has been confirmed.





                PLURAL COMPOUND NOUNS
         To make a compound noun plural,
         the final noun becomes plural.









                        “Party” becomes “parties.”
