    The document discusses compound adjectives which are formed by combining two bases. The first base can be a noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb or number, while the second base is a participle form of a verb ending in "-ed", "-en" or "-ing". Examples are provided such as a "blue-eyed" person, a "two-metre" rule, and a "bullet-proof" vest. Compound adjectives describe qualities or characteristics of a noun.
