MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which is right?

Suitably-attired worker

Family friendly guide

Lovely-sounding chuckle

None of these

Answer explanation

We don’t need the hyphen in ‘Suitably attired editor’ because ‘suitably’ is an adverb (whereas ‘family’ is a noun, and ‘lovely’ is an adjective), and it’s adverbs (to be specific, ‘adverbials of manner’) that are the types of -ly words that don’t need hyphens. This is because -ly adverbs are automatically understood to provide information about the word that directly follows, so they are ‘connected’ to it already – no need for a hyphen.
