Hyphen

What is the usage of a hyphen. When is it used? Teachers, please help. I got so many posts here. Thanks.

I dont like I-know-better-than-thou gals. You can transform entire phrase/clause into an adjective with hypens.

00I sometimes have difficulty using a long phrase or clause in front a noun as an adjective. Can you help me? How do we know when to hyphenate a certain phrase or clause, or not to hyphenate it because I think some clauses get hyphenated sometimes and some clauses not when used as an adjective?02br
