Some authors claim ''there is no firm rule to help you decide which words are run together, hyphenated or left separate'' (http://www.economist.com/style-guide/hyphens The Economist). Others tend to disagree: ''The basic rule is straightforward: you need a hyphen to join two (or more) modifiers if the words taken together modify a noun that follows'' (http://roskylegaled.com/blog/post/to-hyphenate-or-not-to-hyphenate/ Rosky Legal Education).

== Examples ==

• [[far-reaching consequences]]

Grammar & style

Some authors claim there is no firm rule to help you decide which words are run together, hyphenated or left separate (http://www.economist.com/style-guide/hyphens The Economist). Others tend to disagree: The basic rule is straightforward: you need a hyphen to join two (or more) modifiers if the words taken together modify a noun that follows (http://roskylegaled.com/blog/post/to-hyphenate-or-not-to-hyphenate/ Rosky Legal Education).

Remarks

On Entri authors should apply the rules as laid out on Kathy Sieckman's 'Proof That' blog (see Further reading).
