Hyphens and numbers
- We use hyphens in adjective phrases with ages and numbers before a noun:
I have an eight-year-old daughter.
My mum drives a two-door car.- We don't use hyphens when an adjective phrase with an age or number comes after the noun:
The students are eighteen years old.
My car only has two doors.- We use hyphens in ordinal numbers:
My birthday is on the twenty-seventh of June.
- We use hyphens in numbers between 21 and 99:
Mario dieted for sixty-two days until he reached his target weight.
