How to order them in usage?

 

Arthur Miller's plays were well-received by critics

 

The order of this one is fine, but it's not necessary to use a hyphen here.

 

How to order them in usage?

 

there is a sky-high builidng.

This one's a little strange; I don't think the sentence is complete. Does this sentence mean "A sky-high building is over there"?

 

It's a bit strange to use the 'existential there' in this sentence with this meaning. But the hypen here is correct.

 

HTH!! (Hope that helps!!)

 

Please post further questions here.

Actually, I added "there" in that sentence, because I thougt to ask you the usage of hyphen within a sentence.

 

I think that I can look up dictionary about hyphen by myself.

 

Next time. I" back with a topic related with TOEFL. bye~
