A Word Or Words?
These kind of words makes me a little bit confusing. Is this one word or words:
*out-of-the-country
*out-of-place
*follow-up
*check-up
*make-up
*pro-active
And such others.
Thanks in advance for answering! :)

Hyphenated words such as 'check-up', can be considered as a 'single' word. I think it would be reasonable to call 'check-up' or 'follow-up' a word, for example. 'Make-up' is certainly a word, and is sometimes not even hyphenated.
'Out of place' for example, is not hyphenated, so it is a phrase.
