Compound adjectives

Hey, I've got a really problematic homework. I have to make as many compound adjectives as I can using these adjectives and nouns : big, broad, cold, empty, fair, kind, long, narrow, single, thin, wide, blood, eyed, hair, hand, head, heart, leg mind, shoulder, skin. Is there anyone hwo is able and willing to help me? English isn't my native language so it would be a great help Emotion: smile

You add the -ed ending to the part of the body the same way as you would add it to a verb. narrow-minded long-legged kind-hearted ... Put together the 'normal' adjective and a part of the body and add the -ed .
