weather forecast, washing machine, truck driver. - Before another noun, a compound adjective is hyphenated, and the measurement word stays singular:
a two-hour flight, a ten-pound note, a five-star hotel. - When we simply say how many, use the plural:
two hours, 60 minutes, five days. - Age expressions:
She is six years old.
a six-year-old daughter.
