used to denote the omission of one or more letters or
figures.

numbers.

Examples of “hyphen”.
o To join two or more words serving as a single
adjective before a noun.
Example: a one-way street, chocolate-covered
peanuts
o Use a hyphen with compound numbers.
Example: forty-six, sixty-three Our much-loved
teacher was sixty-three years old.
Slash (/)
 Slash is used to indicate that any of the terms so
joined may be used in the sentence without altering
the meaning.
For example: A thing of beauty is a joy forever;/Its
loveliness increases ; it will never / Pass into
nothingness; but still will keep.
