There are several types of hyphenated words

 - adjective + noun (or noun + adjective). Here are some examples:

  short-term               full-scale                 blue-collar           

  skin-tight                 rock-hard                world-famous

- another type of compound adjective combines an adjective with a past participle:

  old-fashioned          tight-lipped             good-hearted

  deep-fried               absent-minded

- adjectives can also combine with a present participle:

  good-looking

  slow-going

  quick-thinking

Hyphenating numbers 21 through 99 

twenty-one          thirty-two              forty-three                fifty-four                

sixty-five             seventy-six           eighty-seven            ninety-eight

We don’t hyphenate teens (e.g. sixteen, seventeen), nor numbers higher than 99.

Let’s look at an example of a large number, so you can see where the hyphen goes:

273 = two hundred seventy-three

 

What about even bigger numbers? Here’s an example:

24,535 = twenty-four thousand five hundred [and] thirty-five.

Compound Adjectives with Numbers

Some compound modifiers contain numbers. These might be periods of time or ages. We hyphenate any compound adjective that contains a number if it precedes a noun. Here are some examples:

two-week vacation

three-day weekend

five-year-old boy

seventy-three-year-old grandma

seven-year itch

fifteenth-century castle

second-place medal

third-grade class

If there is a number in a compound adjective, it must have a hyphen.

 !!! However, if it’s not part of a compound adjective that precedes a noun, we do not hyphenate the word:

I’m on vacation for two weeks.

The boy is five years old.

The castle was built in the fifteenth century.

She teaches third grade.

I came in second place.

Always ask yourself how the phrase is functioning. If it’s a compound adjective that contains a number, use a hyphen!

Hyphens and Adverbs

- If the adverb ends in -ly, do not use a hyphen. Take a look at these examples:

   beautifully dressed                    heavily laced

   happily married                         horribly disfigured                   poorly written

- But not all adverbs end in -ly. Here are some examples of compound modifiers with adverbs that do need a hyphen:

   well-informed                           never-ending

   Hyphenating for Clarity

In some situations, you can add a hyphen to make your writing easier to read. Words like “pre-eclampsia” or “re-elect” are easier to read with the hyphen, even though it’s not necessary.

Hyphens can also help ensure that readers emphasize a syllable correctly to avoid confusion with another word. “Re-collect” will tell the reader you mean “to collect again” rather than “recollect” or “remember.”

resign

re-sign

  Who can tell the difference?

resign= (without a hyphen)

means to stop a job or position voluntarily

She decided to resign from her position at the company

re-sign=(with  a hyphen)

means to sign again. Usually referring to a contract.

The athlete agreed to re-sign with the team for another reason.
