A single dash used to connect two words to create a compound word.
A hyphen is like a "dash". It is used when writing numbers (like forty-two) or in words such as mother-in-law, ex-wife, and president-elect. Often, it is hard to say whether or not a word is hyphenated. When in doubt, check a dictionary.
