One half piece of pie - or - One-half piece of pie I gave her one half - or - I gave her one-half follow up appointment - or - follow-up appointment I will follow up with you - or I will follow-up with you. Any help would be great.  Thank you. I would say there is a trend today to omit a lot of hyphens. With hyphens, I'd write like this. One half-piece of pie   I gave her one/a half  follow-up appointment I will follow up with you Clive.
