Compound nouns are formed by combining two or more words to create a single noun. For example, in the sentence "The classroom is filled with textbooks and notebooks," both "classroom" and "textbooks" are compound nouns. Another example can be found in "The Basketball game was exciting," where "basketball" serves as a compound noun. These nouns often describe specific objects or ideas by merging related terms.
