Stand-alone: How do they call such adjectives? #1 (permalink) Mon Sep 18, 2006 8:21 am   Stand-alone: How do they call such adjectives?		  
Hi

Is there some special name for such adjectives as stand-alone or can-do ?

They are called compound adjectives (if you mean those which are formed of two or more words, that is).

Hi Conchita

I asked about those adjectives that are written with hyphen. Some of them have a verb as the first part.

By the way:

online
on-line

Which one is a compound adjective? Both?

online
on-line

Both are compound adjectives: 'online' is a solid compound adjective and 'on-line' is a hyphenated compound adjective.
