Using Hyphens and Format Letters with Multiple Addresses.
You use a hyphen when two or more words have the force of a single modifier before a noun. These are called compound adjectives. Another reason you would use a hyphen is when numbers are compounded with words and they have the force of a single modifier. Examples are :
- He is a 45-year-old male in critical condition.
- We work a 40-hour week.
- self-inflicted knife wound
- new-car salesman
