The hotel boasts a world-famous restaurant, but the main dining room is extremely poorly lit. I ordered a mouth-watering steak, but it was served by a bad-tempered waiter who sighed heavily every time I asked for a glass of water.
world-famous and mouth-watering: When two or more words act together as a single adjective before a noun, they should be hyphenated (e.g., a world-famous restaurant).
poorly lit: Do not use a hyphen when the compound adjective begins with an adverb ending in "-ly" (e.g., poorly lit, beautifully written).
bad-tempered: This is a standard compound adjective. We use the adjective "bad," not the adverb "badly," to form it, and it requires a hyphen before the noun.
