Because hyphens can contribute to the clarity of a student's writing, you must learn the two basic uses of the hyphen. First, hyphens are used to show certain forms of two-word compounds. Second, hyphens indicate the break of a word at the end of a line of text, and standard English employs a set of rules for indicating such divisions in a word. You will be presented with clear rules and conventions for these uses of the hyphen, with exercises to help you master these conventions.
