Important Notes (ملاحظات هامة)
- A hyphen (-) is used when the compound adjective comes **before** the noun it describes.
- If the noun does not come after the compound adjective, we do not use a hyphen (e.g.,
As a footballer, Mohammed Salah is well known). - No hyphen is used after the adverb
very. - For time expressions with a number, use ('s) for singular and (s') for plural (e.g.,
in a week's time,in two weeks' time). - Some compound adjectives have comparative/superlative forms (e.g.,
good-looking / better-looking / best-looking).
