Hyphens are used to join words or parts of words together, such as in compound adjectives (e.g., "well-known author") and to avoid ambiguity (e.g., "re-sign" vs. "resign"). They are also used in certain numerical expressions (e.g., "twenty-four") and to separate syllables of a word at the end of a line. Additionally, hyphens can be used in prefixes before proper nouns or in compound nouns (e.g., "anti-American").
