7. Adhask
Hyphens' main purpose is to glue words together. They notify the reader that two or more
elements in a sentence are linked. Although there are rules and customs governing
hyphens, there are also situations when writers must decide whether to add them for
clarity.
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 is usually not necessary.
Example: The apartment is off campus.
However, some established compound adjectives are always hyphenated. Double-check with
a dictionary or online.
Example: The design is state-of-the-art.

See also Rule 2b in Writing Numbers

Rule 2a. A hyphen is frequently required when forming original compound verbs for vivid
writing, humor, or special situations.
Examples:
The slacker video-gamed his way through life.
Queen Victoria throne-sat for six decades.
Rule 2b. When writing out new, original, or unusual compound nouns, writers should
hyphenate whenever doing so avoids confusion.
Examples:
I changed my diet and became a no-meater.
No-meater is too confusing without the hyphen.
The slacker was a video gamer.
Video gamer is clear without a hyphen, although some writers might prefer to hyphenate it.
Writers using familiar compound verbs and nouns should consult a dictionary or look
online to decide if these verbs and nouns should be hyphenated.
