Formation of Compound Adjectives
Compound adjectives are created by combining a number with a noun to describe another noun. For example, in the podcast, a 70-second lap and a four-kilometre course were mentioned. Hyphens are used to connect the number and noun in compound adjectives, such as a seventy-second lap or a six-foot man.
