Answer:

One function of the hyphen is to connect two words acting as a single unit to modify a noun.

Explanation:

The correct way to use a <em>hyphen (-)</em> is to separate the two words that make up a <u>compound word.</u>

Its function is to join these types of words:

  • Compound nouns. For example: <em>stick-in-the-mud</em> .
  • Compound verbs. For example:<em> to gift-wrap .</em>
  • Compound adjectives. For example: <em>state-of-the-art .</em>

It is very important <u>not to confuse hyphens with dashes.</u> Dashes are much longer (-), while hyphens are shorter (-).

Another feature is that <u>spaces should not be used when writing hyphens. </u>
