There are three types of compound words:

closed compound word - two different words put together to make a new word

examples - boyfriend, without, mankind

hyphenated compound word - i.e. level-headed, fun-loving, mind-boggling

open compound word - two words that go together but there's a space between them examples: bus driver, candy cane, draft pick brown bag
