“From 9 a.m. – Noon”

Common English Blunders, Prepositions

I saw this in a restaurant.

Problem:
“From” requires “to” (not a hyphen).

Explanation:
Use a hyphen when you want to show a range (e.g., “grades 9 – 12”). Use “to” when you have a phrase that begins with “from” (e.g., “from Cleveland to Seattle”)

Solution:
“From 9 a.m. to Noon”
