How do you do it?

For most writers, the hyphen's primary function is the formation of certain compound terms. The hyphen is also used for word division, which is briefly explained here.

Never use a hyphen in place of an en dash or an em dash.

Compound terms

Compound terms are those that consist of more than one word but represent a single item or idea. They come in three styles.

Open (or spaced) compounds are written as separate words.

printing press

car wash

chief of staff

Hyphenated compounds use hyphens between the words.

eye-opener

check-in

free-for-all

Closed (or solid) compounds are written as a single word.

lifestyle

bookstore

whodunit

Compound nouns

Compound nouns are the easiest to deal with: most of them can be looked up in a good dictionary. Keep in mind, though, that many compound nouns start out spaced or hyphenated before eventually becoming solid, with dictionaries often lagging behind current usage.

Compound verbs

Compound verbs (e.g., waterproof, highlight, rubber-stamp, nickel-and-dime) also are typically included in a good dictionary.

Compound adjectives

The most difficult compound terms to deal with are the compound adjectives. For one thing, most of them will not be found in any dictionary. For another, whether they are hyphenated or not depends on their position within a sentence. Whether to hyphenate or not is often a matter of style. Some basic guidance is offered below. For more detailed guidance, the current (16th) edition of The Chicago Manual of Style includes a useful table of rules for all manner of compounds.

Two or more words that collectively act as an adjective should be hyphenated when they appear immediately before the noun they modify. This helps prevent misreading.

Voters are fed up with this do-nothing congress.

The victim is being described only as a twenty-five-year-old man.

Does this come with a money-back guarantee?

The house comes with a state-of-the-art security system.

Though the one-bedroom condos are sold out, we still have several two-, three-, and four-bedroom units available.

The major exception is when the compound adjective begins with an adverb ending in -ly. In that case, since a misreading is unlikely, the hyphen is unnecessary. If the -ly adverb is part of a larger compound adjective, use a hyphen.

This is a poorly produced movie.

He followed up with a not-so-poorly-produced sequel.

Forming compounds with an en dash

Certain particularly complex compounds can be formed with an en dash rather than a hyphen, as explained here.

Word division

In professionally printed material (particularly books, magazines, and newspapers), the hyphen is used to divide words between the end of one line and the beginning of the next. This allows for an evenly aligned right margin without highly variable (and distracting) word spacing. The rules for such word division are beyond the scope of this guide; they are also beyond the needs of most writers. If you are writing for a publication that requires it, the word division will be handled by the typesetter. Your word processor's default setting, which is to avoid word division at the end of each line, is appropriate for nearly all of your writing—academic, business, or personal.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
