When do you use hyphens?

A hyphen is used to combine two or more words that modify a noun. The hyphen is there to save the reader from any potential confusion. For example, “Twenty-one boys ate McDonald’s for supper and got sick.

€ In this sentence, the hyphen makes clear how the two words, “twenty” and “one” tells us how many boys ate pie. A hyphen will also do when there are more than two words that modify. For example, “The officers met the soon-to-be-named president at a party.

€ The words “soon to be named” all refer to one concept about the president. Without the hyphen, the words could easily mislead a reader to think that officers met something soon, and that meaning would be incorrect.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
