Sentence: The pastry chef ate a pink cake. Adjectives: Pastry, pink
Why? Because adjectives describe nouns. Chef is a noun and pastry describes the kind of noun. Cake is a noun and pink describes the kind of cake.

∙ 9y agoTwo word adjectives are known as compound adjectives. These adjectives are hyphenated. An example would be man-eating, as opposed to man eating. They mean vastly different things and can be confusing if not written correctly.

Adjectives are not always single words. An adjective can be formed by joining two words. These are called two-word adjectives. Two-word adjectives are attributive adjectives; that is, they always come before the word they modify.
Two-word adjectives are formed in three ways or what we called its components:
- A number word followed by a noun as in a three-kilorice.
- An adverb followed by a verb as in well-builtchurch.
- A noun followed by a verb (past participle) as in stone-built monument.
Examples of two-word adjectives:
- well-built - Adverb followed by a verb
- well-groomed - Adverb followed by a verb
- one-minute - Number word followed by a noun
- one-kilo - Number word followed by a noun
- two-hour - Number word followed by a noun
- orientally-designed - Noun followed by a verb (past participle)
- perfectly-maintained - Noun followed by a verb (past participle)
Two-word (or multiple-word) adjectives are normally hyphenated ... but be careful! Many people mistakenly assume that because number word adjectives (a four-leaf clover) are hyphenated, ALL numbers are hyphenated. They'll write something like "The clover had four-leaves.", which isn't standard English.
The best way to keep the two uses separate is to ask yourself whether the number is part of a two-word adjective that modifies another noun. If it is, use a hyphen between the number and the first noun. If there isn't a second noun, do not use a hyphen.
