When you want to add additional information. Example: A screeching noise came from the closet - a cry for help.
To indicate a sentence is unfinished.
You just did! I just saw the mailman dash around the corner.
If you meant "where would you put a comma in this sentence" then i would say "The gardener took the hose and the shovel, and began to plant the flowers" There is no dash (-) in the sentence, its a comma (,) which is needed. I hope that helped.
i'ts like a dash, for example- my favorite food is: pizza.
Whether it is technically correct to use both dashes and parentheses in the same sentence would depend on the structure of the sentence. On a practical level, however, that much punctuation might tend to confuse your readers.
you use a dash when your putting two different things together that u want to include in a sentence
Adding a dash of cooking oil to boiling water will prevent pasta from sticking together while cooking.
She would have to dash over to the office and back home in less than ten minutes to make her appointment with the doctor.
A half of a dash in a baking recipe would be a pinch (though I would use two pinches!).
Using a dash at the end of a sentence can be used to add emphasis to the information preceding it, but it is not commonly done. It is more typical to use other punctuation marks like commas or parentheses for this purpose.
Well that depends. If you wish to use the classic "ha" then it would be five dots and a dash ( * * * * * - ) If you wish to use the more modern "lol" then it would be dot dash dot dot dash dash dash dot dash dot dot ( * - * * - - - * - * * ) If you just wanted to kind of giggle with a "te he" then it would be dash dot dot dot dot dot ( - * * * * ) Or if you just want to spell the word laugh then it would be dot dash dot dot dot dash dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot dot dot ( * - * * * - * * - - - * * * * * )
I would use it correctly in a sentence, of course. Thank you for asking.
