Help with kennings in Beowulf? Kenning explaination.?

I have an assignment in British Literature, using lines 1-126 of Beowulf I have to find kennings. 2hyphenated compounds, two written as prepositional phrases, and 2 written as possessives. I have a basic understanding of what a kenning is, but our book doesn’t go in depth with them, so I am confused with what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
