For instance: Twenty-two vs Twenty two. The exception to this rule appears usually in surnames(last names) For instance: my last name is "Campbell-Gray". My mother chose this for me because she was not married to my father yet she wanted me to carry both her last name and his for life.


How do you hyphenate the word stepchild?

You do not generally hyphenate the word stepchild, because it is not a hyphenated word. If the question is where to hyphenate stepchild if you have to break it across two lines, it is not difficult to determine this, because the two syllables are actually separate words: step and child. If you have to hyphenate the word to break it, you would put step- on one line and child on the next. If the word is all on one line, you do not hyphenate it.

How many last names do Spanish speaking people have?

Spanish speaking people typically have two last names, which come from their father's surname and mother's surname. The father's surname comes first, followed by the mother's surname. For example, if a person's father's last name is García and their mother's last name is López, their full name would be [First Name] [Middle Name] García López.
