hyphens...gait is broad-based?
Subject: hyphens...gait is broad-based?
I am drawing brain farts with hyphens lately. Just looked at Dr. Grammar. Still no help. I know that before a noun, two or more adjectives are hyphenated, as in broad-based gait. But what about gait is broad-based. ? Are there new rules on hyphenation? Do we always hyphenate heel-to-shin and the like?
