Students should keep in mind the following errors to be avoided while using compound words:

·       Do not forget to use hyphen, wherever needed. Similarly, don't use hyphens when it's not needed. For example: She is a well-known actor; The book is well known.

·       Writing open compound words, as one word. For example: This coffeeshop (instead it should be coffee shop) is opne 24*7.

·       Writing closed compound words as open ones. For example: Have you finished your home work? (instead it should be homework)

·     &n
