  • When and How To Use a Hyphen ( - )

    A hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark that joins related words together to create compound words like: 

    • follow-up 
    • up-to-date
    • full-time (adjective only)
    • father-in-law

    It clarifies word meaning, forms new ideas, and allows writers to use language in a cool, creative way.
