as,

By being placed before the words which they modify nouns may be used as adjectives; as, “Our Indian summer"; "Christmas eve”; "Strawberry short-cake." Nouns thus used may be modified by adjectives; as, "The High Church Party"; "The Protective Tariff Bill.”

A compound expression may be formed by uniting two nouns, or a noun and an adjective, by a hyphen; as, "Fire-clay brick"; "air-pump experiments"; "a white-oak pail." In all cases, the limiting noun must be in the singular number; as, “A four-rod chain"; "a ten-foot pole"; "This medicine cures lung-diseases"; "a spectacle-maker."

A compound expression may be formed of an indefinite number of words, joined by hyphens, the entire phrase being used as a single word; as, "The Kansas-Nebraska Bill"; an out-and-out falsehood”; "He was dressed in brown-once-black."

Phrases inseparable in thought may be formed by uniting prepositions with themselves or with other parts of speech.

A verb and preposition; as, to cast up, to buy off, to bring to, to come to, to go over, etc. The preposition should be considered an inseparable part of the verb, but it may be parsed as an adverb.

A preposition and adjective; as, on high, at large, in earnest, at most, etc.: inseparable phrases, either adjective or adverbial.

Preposition and preposition; as, over and over, by and by, in and in, through and through, etc.: inseparable adverbial phrases.

Noun, preposition, and noun; as, day by day, face to face, stride by stride, cheek by jowl, etc. As the expressiveness of these phrases is destroyed by supplying any ellipsis, they should be classed among inseparable adverbial phrases. If preferred, however, each word may be parsed separately, the first noun being made the object of a preposition understood.

Two prepositions frequently come together: in which case they form a complex preposition; the first in order is an adverb, or both are adverbs; as, "He comes from over (complex preposition) the sea"; "They rode by (adverb) in a carriage"; "The whole subject was gone over with" (both adverbs). ·

Two or more conjunctions may come together: in which case each has its use, which should always be regarded in parsing; as, "Now when even had come"; "And so I penned it down."
