Dashes/Hyphens, Apostrophes, Titles, and Parentheses

Dashes Dashes add emphasis. Dashes make sentences stronger or more interesting than conjunctions.

Dashes Rule #1: Use a dash to link two parts of a sentence. Okay “Come to class on time because it’s the rule.” ^Conjunctions are too boring. Students will show up late. Better “Come to class on time - it’s the rule.” ^Whoa! Students will be so impressed and intimated by dash usage that they show up on time every single day.

Dashes Rule #2 – Use dashes to emphasize by the way, parenthetical expressions. -Ex: We have been learning grammar–my favorite subject–for the past week. Rule #3 – Use a dash to set off a long appositive or an appositive with lots of commas. Okay - I love Extreme Trampoline, a large warehouse in Carol Stream with dangerous, bouncy trampolines. Better – I love Extreme Trampoline – a large warehouse in Carol Stream with dangerous, bouncy trampolines.

Dashes Rule #4: Use a dash to sum up a list or idea. Ex: Red, white, and blue – those are the American colors. Rule #5: Use a dash in dialogue to show hesitation or a break in the flow of a sentence. Ex: Last Wednesday – no, it was the one before – you were free to do as you pleased.

Hyphens Rule #1: Compound Words Rule # 2: With Prefixes There is no specific rule – consult a dictionary! Ex: Vice-president, self-awareness, X-ray Rule # 2: With Prefixes all-, co-, ex-, half-, great-, numbers and capital letters Ex: All-knowing, co-author, ex-convict, half-life, great- uncle, 10-yards, T-Shirt Rule # 3: Dates 9-17-1964 ^I expect gifts..

Hyphens Rule # 4: Compound Numbers from 21-99 Ex: twenty-three, one hundred and sixty-two. Rule #5: Fractions as Adjectives/Adverbs The recipe called for one-half gallon of eggnog. Rule #6: Scores We won the game 88-62 Rule #7: Compound Adjectives Not long ago you were sixth-grade students Rule #8: Instead of “through” Read pages 1-234 for tomorrow

Apostrophes Rule #1: Contractions I shouldn’t use contractions in my formal essays. Rule #2: Indicate Singular Possessive Ex: Connor’s birds; Jesse’s computer; the cat’s hat Rule # 3:Plural Possessive Ex: The students’ essays; the cats’ hats; The Joneses’ party

Apostrophes Rule # 4: Special Plural For the most part, do not use apostrophes in regular plural words. Use apostrophes in these cases Words used as words Ex: You used too many “yet’s” in your perfect paragraph. -Alphabet Ex:My name has two f’s and two e’s.

Titles Use italics or underlining for names of books, magazines, newspapers, movies, operas, plays, and other large works. Ex: The New York Times The Phantom of the Opera The Wizard of Oz

Titles Use quotation marks for the names of songs, poems, magazine articles, newspaper articles, short stories, chapters of books, and other small works. Ex: Song: “Let it Snow” Article: “7th Grade Students Appreciate Amazing Grammar PowerPoint”

(Parentheses) Rule #1: Set off parenthetical expressions (by the way information-also known as EXTRA INFORMATION) from the rest of the sentence. Ex: John Lennon (1940-1980) was the most gifted songwriter in The Beatles. Nobody (except his mother) can sit next to him because of his foul stench. I paid 10 euros (about $8) for a Big Mac.
