HAVE AND ARTICLES

We don’t use any articles:

I have breakfast at nine,

I have lunch at eleven,

I have tea at five,

I have dinner at half past seven,

We use a after have with these words:

Let’shave a walk in the park,

Let’shave a drink in the bar,

But if you have a cold,

Then stay at home,

And let’s have a talk on the phone.

COMPROUD NOUNS (NOUN+NOUN)

A compound noun is a fixed expression, which is

made up of more than one world and functions as a

noun. Such expressions are frequently combinations

of two nouns, e.g. tin opener, taxi-driver, earings.

Compound nouns are written:

-as one world;

-as two worlds;

-with hyphen.

Unfortunately there is no rule for this, so you may

need to cheek a dictionary.

C.COMPROND ADJECTIVES

A compound adjective is made up of two parts. It is usually written with a hyphen. The second part of the adjectives is often present or the past participle, e.g. blue-eyed, easy-going, log-leggend, etc.

A large number of compound adjectives describe personal appearance.
