1. Could you please share to me a Handing over format?

2. Could you please share to me a Hand-over format?

3. Could you please share me a hand-over format?

4. Could you please share with me a Hand-over format?

Which one is correct? Should I put a hyphen between "hand" and "over"?

They don't make sense to me. For a start, it's "share with me". Also, you have omitted an article after "me". Thirdly, there is no reason to capitalise "handing/hand". Most importantly, what on earth is a "handing over/hand-over/Hand-over format"?

If you understand the definition of "format" correctly, you will know that it's not possible to hand one over or share one with anyone.

What is a "hypon"?

No. That's not a word either. Try again.

The first two letters are correct. The final letter is correct. The rest are incorrect. Look at a list of English punctuation terms and find the right one.

OK. Now it's clear. I never write it.

Is it a fictional character/ cartoon? I couldn't find it through Oxford dictionary and Google.

I don't know what "I never write it" means.

Is what a fictional character/cartoon? What did you look up on Google and in the Oxford dictionary?

I never write hyphen (‐) in writing form. Since you are advised to look up the post#2, I was searching "hypon" in Google. I found : Hypon is fictional character, Then again I typed as " hypon pictures" and found that some cartoons. Below is the display from Oxford dictionary.

"No exact match found for "hypon" in British & World English."

I was referring to these points from post #2:

"They don't make sense to me. For a start, it's "share with me". Also, you have omitted an article after "me". Thirdly, there is no reason to capitalise "handing/hand". Most importantly, what on earth is a "handing over/hand-over/Hand-over format"?

We can stop discussing hyphens now.
