Hyphen. Alternatively referred to as a dash, subtract, negative, or minus sign, the hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark found on the underscore key next to the 0 key on US keyboards.
Hyphens Between Words. Rule 1. Generally, hyphenate two or more words when they come before a noun they modify and act as a single idea. This is called a compound adjective. Examples: an off-campus apartment state-of-the-art design. When a compound adjective follows a noun, a hyphen may or may not be necessary.or clarity, writers often hyphenate when the last letter in the root word is the same as the first letter in the suffix. Examples: graffiti-ism wiretap-proof. Rule 3. Use discretionâand sometimes a dictionaryâbefore deciding to place a hyphen before a suffix.
