Do you know...     #3

Do you know whether or not you hyphenate "short term?"  The answer is yes and no; you hyphenate when used as an adjective before a noun.  e.g.  One of my short-term goals is to paint a little every day. 

When "short" describes "term," and "term" is a noun, you do not hyphenate.  e.g. In the short term, I will go to the library every day.
