Time-out
Hello,
First, I'm not sure if I used time-out properly. Which verbs do you usually use with time-out. Second, should a hyphen between them?
when children misbehaved, he sent them to time-out.
Thank you in advance.

When sending a child to time out, use a simple instruction with fewer than ten words such as, “No fighting, go to time out.”
