How to use a hyphen (-)
Hyphens are used to link words and parts of words. They are not as common today as they used to be, but there are three main cases where you should use them:
in compound words
to join prefixes to other words
to show word breaks
Hyphens in compound words
Hyphens are used in many compound words to show that the component words have a combined meaning (e.g. a pick-me-up, mother-in-law, good-hearted) or that there is a relationship between the words that make up the compound: for example, rock-forming minerals are minerals that form rocks. But you don’t need to use them in every type of compound word.
Compound adjectives
Compound adjectives are made up of a noun + an adjective, a noun + a participle, or an adjective + a participle. Many compound adjectives should be hyphenated. Here are some examples:
noun + adjective
noun + participle
adjective + participle
accident-prone
computer-aided
good-looking
sugar-free
power-driven
quick-thinking
carbon-neutral
user-generated
bad-tempered
sport-mad
custom-built
fair-haired
camera-ready
muddle-headed
open-mouthed
With compound adjectives formed from the adverb well and a participle (e.g. well-known), or from a phrase (e.g. up-to-date), you should use a hyphen when the compound comes before the noun:
well-known brands of coffee
an up-to-date account
but not when the compound comes after the noun:
His music was also well known in England.
Their figures are up to date.
It’s important to use hyphens in compound adjectives describing ages and lengths of time: leaving them out can make the meaning ambiguous. For example, 250-year-old trees clearly refers to trees that are 250 years old, while 250 year old trees could equally refer to 250 trees that are all one year old.
