Question

Form compound words:
[1] Gerund + Noun
[2] Verb + Noun.

Answer 1

Hint: A compound word refers to a word in which two words are used together and the used to form a new word that has a meaning that varies from its original meaning.

Complete step-by-step answer:

In the given question we have to give an example each for the two kinds of compound words that we have been asked in the question.
To do this, let us first try to understand the meaning of a compound word. A compound word is formed when two words are brought together to form a third, new word. There are three types of compound words. In open compounds, both words are written separately, in closed compounds both words are conjoined, and in hyphenated compounds, the words are separated by a hyphen.
A gerund refers to a verb that is used as a noun.
With this information, let us now try and frame two words as it has been asked in the question.
For the first part, gerund + noun, we can give the words steering + wheel, making the final word steering wheel.
For the second part, verb + noun, we can give the words washing + machine, making the final word washing machine.

Note: It can be difficult for you to understand the difference that exists between a gerund and a verb from just this example. To understand the difference, we need to place the word in a sentence, and in that, we can see that the gerund will be the subject, while the sentence with the verb will remain to be a verb.
