Examples:
The teacher had thirty-two children in her classroom.
Only twenty-one of the children were bilingual.

More than one-half of the student body voted for removing

Hyphens with Prefixes

noncompliance
copayment
semiconscious
fortyish

Example:
un-American

. Hyphenate prefixes ending in an or only when the root word
begins with the same letter.
Examples:
ultra-ambitious
semi-invalid
Rule 4
. When a prefix ends in one vowel and a root word begins with a
different vowel, generally attach them without a hyphen.
Examples:
antiaircraft
proactive
Rule 5
. Prefixes and root words that result in double e’s and double o’s are
usually combined to form one word.
Examples:
preemployment
coordinate
Exceptions:
de-emphasize
co-owner
