Question

When do you use dashes in a sentence?

Answer 1

Hi my name is molly and I am here to help :)

In English we use 3 versions of the “dash” (-)

It can be a hyphen which you use to link prefixes example is co-founder

It can be a en dash which you use between number sequences example is 1,2,3,4 instead with a en dash is 1-4

Last one is a em dash which can mark none important words or show a break in the sentence example is I hope you day is amazing-except when you don’t smile- but you always smile
