His still-smoking gun went spinning down the alley. Because a hyphen should be used to connect two words functioning together as an adjective before a noun. The second one was We were embarrassed when our uncle bragged about being a self made millionaire or We were embarrassed when our uncle bragged about being a self-made millionaire. Because a hyphen should be used with the prefix self-. The third was Over the years, several well known politicians have taught part time at George Washington University or Over the years, several well-known politicians have taught part time at George Washington University. I knew that well-known always should be with -. The fourth was The quietly purring cat cleaned first one paw and then the other before curling up under the stove or The quietly-purring cat cleaned first one paw and then the other before curling up under the stove.
