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).
