Compound adjectives

Adjective / adverb + past participle
Adjective or adverb plus past participle is one of the most common patterns for forming compound adjectives. Some common examples would include:
Most animals are warm-blooded but reptiles are cold-blooded. He was an old-fashined house, but was kind-hearted and open-minded. He was a cold- blooded murdere and showed no emotion of any kind. There are sometimes many possible combinations, e.g. broad-minded, narrow-minded, absent-minded, strong-minded, as well as open-minded. It is partly a matter of knowing which adjectives or adverbs go with which participles and nouns. We have brightly-lit streets, but also brightly-colored dresses. Compound adjectives are regarded as productive features of English which means that use is not so restricted as it is in many categories of grammar. New combinations are always possible. |
Complete the sentences with appropriate compound adjectives: four-foot, open-minded, brightly-lit, green-eyed, all-too-common, part-time, cold-blooded, well-behaved.
