Are you a hard-working and well-respected person?

Two-word adjectives with hyphens

How do you describe someone who works hard and who people have a good opinion of?

John is really hard-working and is a well-respected member of our team.

We can add participles to some nouns, adverbs and adjectives to make two-word adjectives. They're easy to make, and fun to use - but do you know when to write these adjectives with hyphens - and when to leave the hyphens out?
