A parenthetical statement is one that takes place inside a pair of parentheses. They are generally used as an aside to the actual sentence or paragraph.
When a sentence includes a parenthetical statement, the period should be placed outside the closing parenthesis if the entire sentence is still complete without the parenthetical content. For example: "I enjoy reading (especially mystery novels)." However, if the parenthetical statement is a complete sentence on its own, the period should be inside the parentheses. For instance: "She loves to swim. (It’s her favorite hobby.)"
When there is a break in a sentence where there is an aside statement in a set of parentheses. For example: "One day, I was walking down the street in the rain (which I don't normally do, but today was an odd day) and then out of nowhere, I saw my friend walking down the street toward me." The statement in the parentheses is a parenthetical aside.
Only one space is required before or after a parenthetical statement.
A parenthetical with a slight start suggests that the speaker is hesitant or unsure about the information they are providing, or that they are making a casual aside or side comment. It can add a sense of informality or uncertainty to the statement being made.
