Adjectives and Adverbs
Rule 8:
Never hyphenate after an 'ly' adverb.
Although hyphens are often used after adverbs, as in a
well-written report, they are never used after 'ly'
adverbs such as carefully and quickly. Notice
the absence of a hyphen after the'ly' adverbs in the
following sentences:
• He presented a thoroughly documented report
to the city council members.
• The easily missed turnoff is just a mile from
the main intersection.
• The carelessly typed report had to be returned
to the word-processing center.
