Hi, everyone!
This is the exactly the same post I published a few weeks ago. The reason for that is that part of the information couldn't be seen as the paragraphs weren't properly framed.
Anyway, hope you can see it properly this time.
This type of vocabulary is useful to describe people as well. Let me just give you all a concise explanation:
Compound Adjectives
A compound adjective is an adjective which is made up of two parts and it is usually written with a hyphen. The second part of the compound adjective is frequently a present or past participle
1. A large number of compound adjectives describe personal appearance: curly-haired, blue-eyed, tight-fitting, ...
2. Another set of compound adjectives describes a person's character: absent-minded, easy-going, two-faced, ...
3. Another group of compound adjectives are those where the second part is a preposition: an all-out strike (total), a burnt-out car (nothing left in it after the fire), a broken-down bus (it won't work),
worn-out shoes (can't be worn anymore), a drive-in movie (you watch from your car)
