Making new words
Join two words together to make a new word.
Sometimes we can join two words to make one new word. Your book, Santoor, shows it on page 21: sun + rise = sunrise, the time when the sun comes up in the morning.
The word 'sun' makes more new words. Sun + set = sunset, when the sun goes down in the evening. Sun + shine = sunshine, the bright light of the sun. Sun + flower = sunflower, a big yellow flower.
The word 'ball' comes at the END of some new words. Foot + ball = football. Basket + ball = basketball. Volley + ball = volleyball. Base + ball = baseball. These are all games played with a ball.
When we join the two words, we write them together as one word, with no space: football, not 'foot ball'.
