A hyphen is used in writing to connect two or more words that function as a single adjective before a noun, such as "well-known author" or "high-quality product." It is also used in compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine and in fractions when used as adjectives, like "one-third." Additionally, hyphens can be used to avoid ambiguity or confusion, such as in "re-sign" (to sign again) versus "resign" (to quit a job).
