this doc just coined another word - and it applies to
me today - amotivated. She spelled it. I know what she means but that still doesn't make it a word!
Hey, I think you coined a new phrase, green grapes. Love it!!
Happy New Year!!
Compound adjectives...sm
Use a hyphen to connect compound adjective. Omit the hyphen if the compound adjective follows the noun.

For some reason i am having a hard time with these. Does anyone have an easy way to remember quickly?

That should be fine except for the hyphen (type 2 is not a compound modifier). nm

Hyphens are used because 32-year-old and 11-pound are compound modifiers. SM
A compound modifier is two or more words that act as a single modifier for a noun.
For example:
32-year-old male
11-pound weight loss
22-gauge needle
1-cm mass
