Compound Words Worksheets | Creating Compound Words Worksheet Part 1 - Free Printable

Final Answer:
2. work + home = homework
3. pack + back = backpack
4. stream + up = streamup *(Note: not standard; likely intended as “stream” + “up” → no common compound — but standard answer expected is probably upstream if order reversed; however, per instruction to combine Word #1 + Word #2 as given, and common usage, the correct standard compounds are below)*
Wait — let’s carefully check standard English compound words formed by *Word #1* followed directly by *Word #2*:

1. time + life = lifetime ✔ (given)
2. work + home = workhome? No — actual common word is homework, but that’s *home + work*. The instruction says “Make a compound word from each pair of words below” — it doesn’t specify order, and in English, order matters. Since #1 is *time* + *life* → *lifetime* (not *timelife*), we see the order is flexible — we choose the natural compound.

So we must form the real English compound word using both words, in whichever order makes sense.

Let’s list correct standard compounds:

2. work + home → homework
3. pack + back → backpack
4. stream + up → upstream (up + stream) — so order swapped
5. hopper + grass → grasshopper (grass + hopper)
6. ground + under → underground (under + ground)
7. market + super → supermarket (super + market)
8. dog + under → underdog (under + dog)
9. fire + back → fireback? Not common. Actually, backfire (back + fire) is standard.

But again: the worksheet shows Word #1 on left, Word #2 on right, and example is *time* + *life* = *lifetime* (Word #1 + Word #2). So *time* then *life* → *lifetime* works as is (no swap).

Check: “lifetime” = time + life → yes, it's written as one word, order preserved.

Now verify others with order preserved:

2. work + home = workhome? ✘ Not a word.
But maybe the exercise allows reordering when needed — most such worksheets do, because otherwise several have no solution.

Looking at common school worksheets like this, the expected answers are:

2. homework
3. backpack
4. upstream
5. grasshopper
6. underground
7. supermarket
8. underdog
9. backfire

All are standard compound words using both parts, order adjusted for correctness.

Since the instructions don’t forbid reordering, and the sample *lifetime* happens to be in given order, but others require swapping, the accepted answers in such worksheets are the real English compounds.

Thus:

Final Answer:
2. homework
3. backpack
4. upstream
5. grasshopper
6. underground
7. supermarket
8. underdog
9. backfire
