知识梳理：
【短语学习】

【用法】
seven-day由“数词+连字符+单数名词”构成的复合形容词，作holiday的定语。相当于所有格形式seven days’，意为“七天的”。 由“数词+连字符+单数名词+形容词”也可以构成复合形容词，在句中用作定语。
【例句】

【拓展】
复合形容词由两个或两个以上的单词组成，用以修饰一个_???è??_。组成复合形容词的每个形容词之间要用_è????????_连接以避免混淆和_è?????è?????_。以_è???????·_构成的形容词，可以以一个词扼要地交代一个繁复的概念，言简意赅。如：
1. _??°è??_+_???è??_（_?????°_）如：100-pound（一百磅的）
2. _??°è??_+_???è??_（_?????°_）+形容词 如：six-meter-tall（六米高的）
