When do you hyphenate words?

You hyphenate words to create new compound words that are uncommon. - During the first years or decades after the creation of a word, the new word is spelled with a hyphen, which tends to disappear after a certain amount of time for ex.: to co-operate, to cooperate. The first phase of the process is simply the creation of a group (no one), then we get a hyphen ("no-one" as it is spelled nowadays by the British) (or "good-looking), and the last stage is the amalgamation: "always", "welcome". - These new words are usually compound words. Hyphenating words is also not that formulaic. There are many more reasons to hyphenate words -- numbers for example "twenty-three," last names such as "Jimenez-Cabrera," you also hyphenate words that have become linked in usage such as "mother-in-law."

Should I Hyphenate night time?

Well, no not really. you could hyphenate it but it would look silly and MS word would put those little red lines under it, which indicates an error. :) This is because the rule of hyphenation is used more commonly with numbers. 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.
