A compound adjective is a combination of two or more words used together to describe a noun. It is often joined by a hyphen.
A compound adjective should be hyphenated when it comes before a noun and acts as a single unit modifying that noun. It should not be hyphenated when it comes after a verb or is used as a predicate adjective.
Example of a hyphenated compound adjective: "well-known"
Example of a compound adjective without a hyphen: "blue eyed"
An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done. An adjective, on the other hand, modifies a noun or pronoun, providing information about its quality, quantity, or appearance.
