EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 4 3/4

Hyphen is always used to get some wards together in order to describe nouns. We should use hyphens between them. If I want to spell a word in the last of a line but the space is not enough, I should write some of characters in the word and use hyphen after these part and then spell the left part in the next line.

e.g.
Vancouver is a well-known city around the world.
The fourteen-year-old boy has become a famous person.
She is a hard-working student.

This situation is just used on the adjective before the noun, which is the most important and we should focus on it.
