You did not give the examples you were asked about, so we cannot answer this question. But we can tell you a little bit about hyphens-- they are used in very specific circumstances. For one, you will see them when spelling out certain compound numbers: twenty-one, forty-three, seventy-nine, etc. You also hyphenate when two related words are used as an adjective, and they describe a single noun: She is a well-known author. John's well-deserved vacation starts today. Hyphens are used with certain prefixes: ex-husband (a former husband, after a divorce); mid-February (the middle of that month); pre-1970s (the era before the 1970s). There are other uses of hyphens too, and I enclose a link to a good site that explains them all.
