Compound Words
Compound words are made by joining two small words together to make one new word.
For example, butterfly is made by joining two small words together; butter and fly.
A word that has two parts, but the parts are not words by themselves is not a compound word. For example: heavy – the word has two parts (2 syllables – hea and vy), but hea and vy are not words by themselves. The
two parts that make the sounds of the word heavy are called syllables.
