Compound words are formed by yielding two different words and making a new meaningful word. Compound words can be written in three ways: open compounds, closed compounds, and hyphenated compounds. As the compound words worksheet diagram shows, compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning. For example, tea and cup make teacup, basket and ball makes basketball, blue and berry makes blueberry, among others. A compound words worksheet template can be created using EdrawMax as it allows teachers or faculties to create several compound word diagrams.
