Punctuation Makes A Difference: Dash, Hyphen, and Parentheses MJHS, 2012

DASHES -- Use a dash to indicate an abrupt break in thought or speech or an unfinished statement or question. That painting—if I can call it that—is too abstract. A few notes—how I enjoy Bach—floated down the long corridor.

DASHES -- Use a dash before a summary of what is stated. Avoiding work, writing notes, choosing what gel pens to use—busy day of a ninth grader.

Only use a dash when you want something to stand out. If you don’t continue the sentence then you don’t need to have a closing dash. Only use a dash when you want something to stand out.

Why the dash is possibly the coolest punctuation mark—not just because it is sleek and simple. The Dash in Action

Examine the Quote From Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray: “Of course, it is sudden—all really delightful things are.”

So why do we need it then?

PARENTHESES ( ) Use parentheses to enclose material that is added to a sentence but is not considered of major importance. Punctuation marks are used within parentheses when they belong with the parenthetical matter. However, a punctuation mark is not placed within the parentheses if the mark belongs to the sentence as a whole. During the Civil War (from 1861 to 1865), many lives were lost. Aunt Em (no one knows her real first name) will be ninety-five years old this Christmas. Fill in the application carefully. (Use ink only.)

PARENTHESES You should try to not use parentheses in formal writing because every word in this type of writing should be important. Essays Legal Documents Academic Writing

PARENTHESES Just remember that parentheses is like cupping your two hands to whisper something. (It is looks like two hands cupping too.)

HYPHEN 1. Use a hyphen in some compound nouns. city-state brother-in-law pass-fail 2. Use a hyphen to divide words at the end of a line. Make sure to divide at the syllable. A clear outline of each scene was pro- vided in the director's notes. 3. Use a hyphen with compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine and with fractions used as adjectives. thirty-three percent one-half cup [but one half of the grapes]

HYPHEN 4. Use a hyphen with some prefixes. ex-, self-, great-, half-, all- self-employed, ex-girlfriend, all-encompassing 5. Use a hyphen with some suffixes. -elect (president-elect) -style (European-style) 6. Use a hyphen in compound adjectives used before a noun. often-quoted advice one-half cup [but one half of the grapes]

HYPHEN 7. Use a hyphen with proper nouns and adjectives with any prefix. pre-Vietnam War post-World War II

Why the Hyphen? One little line changes the whole meaning. long-standing friend a re-formed rock band re-collect the money lost she made a re-mark on the painting long standing friend a reformed rock band recollect the money lost she made a remark on the painting

Dash, Hyphen, and Parentheses Quick Review

DASH When to Use a Dash A dash is twice the size of a hyphen. On a word processor it is made by hitting the dash stroke twice. There is no space between a dash and the word that follows. On a word processor the two hyphens magically transform into a dash automatically. It's amazing. Use a dash for the following reasons: an abrupt break in thought: Today--a snowy day--we went cross- country skiing. a long explanatory statement that interrupts the main thought of a sentence: His class--an endless diatribe on the strength of the feminine gender in Romeo and Juliet and the weakness of Romeo in a male dominated society--put everybody to sleep. to set off an introductory list: Austin Carr, Ron Harper, LeBron James, Bingo Smith--these are my favorite players.

Hyphen When to Use a Hyphen A hyphen is half the size of a dash. On a word processor it is made by hitting the dash stroke once. Use a hyphen in the following places: in compound numbers between twenty-one and ninety-nine in spelled out fractions: one-fifteenth in certain compound nouns: father-in-law, great-uncle in compound adjectives used before (not after) a noun: often- quoted advice in words with the following prefixes ex, self, great, half, and all: ex-president, self-employed, all-inclusive in proper nouns and adjectives with any prefix: pre-Vietnam War, post-Jurassic Period in words that contain the suffix elect or style: president-elect, French Colonial-style

Parentheses When to Use Parentheses Use parentheses to indicate anything that your reader could skip and still completely understand your writing. Or use to indicate information that has already been stated. Yesterday we rode snowmobiles (otherwise known as snow machines) to the cabin. On that day (June 5), the document was signed and sealed.

PRACTICE: Insert the needed hyphens and dashes. The Peruvian Iguana the best loved animal of the South American jungle survives by eating the bark of a weeping willow. Oak, Walnut, Beech those are its secondary foods. One year I'm pretty sure it was pre Argentina winning the world cup a Peruvian Iguana ran for president of the jungle and narrowly defeated Pele and Maradonna and became president elect of the greater Peruvian jungle. The election on account of a little known clause preventing Iguanas and other amphibious like creatures from becoming president elect of a South American jungle is still argued about fifty three and one fourth year later.
