Reading sometimes feels magical to me. A good text transports me to a different world. A thriller makes me live through the protagonist’s fears and triumphs. A good memoir lets me feel the author’s feelings, experience their struggles, and understand how they make their life choices. I feel enriched and connected. Even a good sales pitch makes me imagine how a product would make my life better, making me more eager to click Buy.

Compound words are when two or more words combine to form a new single word or a phrase that acts like a single word. There are three different types of compound words in grammar: open compound words with spaces between the words ( ice cream ), closed compound words with no spaces ( firefighter ), and hyphenated compound words ( up-to-date ). While compound words are a part of everyday communication, figuring out whether to use spaces, hyphens, or neither can get confusing.
