Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Which one is grammatically correct, or better?</p>

2

<p>I would think the second one.</p>

3

<p>The second one. The first one doesn’t make sense with the “a” in front.</p>

4

<p>So can I say two-months away in Africa? Will this be grammatically correct?</p>

5

<p>No. Use hyphens when two words must be linked together to make sense in the sentence. Two and months are independent of each other, so there shouldn’t be a hyphen between them.</p>

6

<p>The second one definitely.</p>
