Explanation:

Hyphens are used to bring together compound words. These compound words may have been written separately or as a word. They can be used to combine compound numbers as in  thirty-six and twenty-nine. They can be used to bring together two adjectives acting as a single word as in time-worn.

They can be used as line breaks and in-between syllables. Hyphens ease understanding and pronunciation of compound words.
