♥️ *Hyphen with Compound Modifiers*
A compound modifier is made up of two words that work together to function like one adjective.
When you connect words with the hyphen, you make it clear to readers that the words work together as a unit of meaning.
❌ It’s recommended you don’t take down any load bearing walls when renovating.
In this sentence, it sounds like you shouldn’t take down any load that is holding up a wall. A hyphen should be inserted between load and bearing to make it clear that we’re talking about walls that are bearing a load.
✅ It’s recommended you don’t take down any load-bearing walls when renovating.

♥️ *Hyphen in a Compound Expression With a Noun and Past Participle*
Compound modifiers that contain a past participle also follow the same rules as any other compound modifier. Use a hyphen when the compound goes before the noun it modifies:
- The municipal government is funding a community-based education system.
- Wind-powered generators can be excellent sources of electricity.
❌ Don’t use a hyphen when the compound comes after the noun it describes.
- The singer performing tonight is well known.

♥️ *Hyphenated Compound Words*
Hyphenated compound words are the ones (obviously) with a hyphen between the words. Over time, many hyphenated compounds become closed compounds—teen-ager became teenager for instance.
Mother-in-law
Master-at-arms
Editor-in-chief
Ten-year-old
Factory-made
Twelve-pack

♥️ *Closed Compound Words*
Hyphenated words tend to become closed compounds (single words with no hyphens) over time. Email instead of e-mail, for example, is increasingly common.
Notebook
Superman
Waistcoat
Bookstore

♥️ *Hyphens and Numbers*
Numbers between twenty-one and ninety-nine should be hyphenated when they’re spelled out.
- Fifty-six bottles of pop on the wall, fifty-six bottles of pop…
- No, I won’t party “like it’s nineteen ninety-nine.”
- I’ve got a hundred and twenty-two of these gizmos to sell.

♥️ *Hyphen in Compound Adjective With Numbers*
When numbers are used as the first part of a compound adjective, use a hyphen to connect them to the noun that follows them.
This way, the reader knows that both words function like a unit to modify another noun. This applies whether the number is written in words or in digits.
- The president of the company gave a 10-minute speech to the Board of Directors.
- He is knowledgeable in thirteenth-century politics.
- The boy threw a rock at the second-story window.
⚠️ However, a hyphen is not required if the number is the second word in the compound adjective.
- He is a victim of Type 2 diabetes.
- This elevator doesn’t go down to Basement 3.
