The hyphen in "re-sign" is used to clarify the meaning of the word, distinguishing it from "resign," which means to quit a position. In this case, "re-sign" indicates the act of signing again, such as renewing a contract. The hyphen helps prevent confusion between the two similar-sounding terms.

Sure! Please provide the sentences you would like me to evaluate for incorrect hyphen usage.
What a hyphen does is it is showing you what you are saying in the sentence; it represents something. It is NOT to be used as a pause. Commas and semicolon's are used for that. For example, if I wanted to say something about a car, I would say "This car is very nice - it has leather seats." The hyphen is a place holder if you do not want to end a sentence because you are describing what you are talking about in the first part of the sentence.
Nixon was the first US president to resign officially in the middle of his term not by natural causes.
It depends on how it is used in a sentence and what sentence you are forming.
The term "one-third" contains a hyphen because it is a compound adjective that modifies a noun, indicating a specific portion or fraction. In English, hyphens are used to connect words that work together as a single idea, especially when they precede a noun. In this case, "one-third" clarifies that it refers to a specific quantity. Without the hyphen, the meaning could become ambiguous.
