Which sentence shows correct use of hyphen?
What a hyphen does is it is showing you what you are saying in the sentence; it represents something. It is NOT to be used as a pause. Commas and semicolon's are used for that. For example, if I wanted to say something about a car, I would say "This car is very nice - it has leather seats." The hyphen is a place holder if you do not want to end a sentence because you are describing what you are talking about in the first part of the sentence.
