Here's a bit more about using hyphens correctly in your writing.
Rule: Use a hyphen with the prefixes "ex-" (meaning former), "self-", and "all-."
Examples: ex-husband, self-assured, all-inclusive
Can you think of any terms using those prefixes that would require the use of a hyphen? If so, post them. If not, that's ok, just take one or two of these terms and use them in a correctly written sentence.

The tickets gave us all-inclusive access to the concert.
*At first I was having major difficulties with the hyphenated words, but through Encarta Dictionary although I was unable to find more words. I could not find anything for the hyphen all-, so I gave a sentence instead.

She still talks to her ex-boyfriend.
She is a self-starter.
