Dashes www.thepunctuationshow.com

A dash can show an interruption, or parenthesis in a sentence. Dashes are often used in pairs, but a single dash would be used if the interruption appears at the end of a sentence. www.thepunctuationshow.com

The interruption will tend to be more aggressive than when brackets or commas are used. www.thepunctuationshow.com

For example: The dashes interrupt the flow of the sentences. The teachers want the best for us - or so they say. The damage to the house - and there’s no doubt it was intentional - will cost thousands. The dashes interrupt the flow of the sentences. www.thepunctuationshow.com

Where should the dash go in this sentence? these children are evil. Your turn Where should the dash go in this sentence? One thing is certain these children are evil. www.thepunctuationshow.com

these children are evil. The dash shows the interruption. That’s right! - One thing’s for sure these children are evil. The dash shows the interruption. www.thepunctuationshow.com

Remember! The dash we’ve been discussing is an em dash, but we can use an en dash to show sequences: 1985-1988 an A-Z of London www.thepunctuationshow.com
