Compound nouns and possessive forms

This exercise helps you practice two often-confused grammatical structures: compound nouns and possessive forms. You'll read a series of natural sentences and choose the correct phrase from several options. The challenge lies in recognizing whether a noun phrase should use a possessive form (like the student's idea) or a compound noun (like student card). Perfect for B2-level learners looking to sharpen their grammar and improve fluency in everyday English contexts.
