[Voiceover] Today we're gonna talk about dashes which is a piece of punctuation, looks kind of like this, shoop.발음듣기
대기중
And there is a difference between the two of them, it's kind of confusing, but first we're just gonna talk about dashes, what they are, what they do.발음듣기
대기중
Use number one is that they can mark interruptions in the structure of a sentence, as in, "I ran to the bus stop--but the bus had already driven away."발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] You know, you're totally could, you absolutely could use a comma instead of a dash.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Okay, right, so a comma sort of helps the sentence keep flowing and the dash kind of stops it for a second.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And even though, grammatically, those two sentences are identical, right, "I ran to the bus stop, comma, but the bus had already driven away."발음듣기
대기중
Even though that's, technically, that means the exact same thing, "As I ran to the bus stop, dash, but the bus had already driven away."발음듣기
대기중
Right, so, like, you know, comma, but we connect those two independent clauses the same way the dash but is connecting those two clauses.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Okay. Also, it looks like you don't have a space before or after your dash, is that right?발음듣기
대기중
But, yes, according to to the Chicago Manual of Style that Khan Academy uses, it would just go word, dash, word, then a space.발음듣기
대기중
But when you're using dashes, generally, you don't put spaces in between them, in between words.발음듣기
대기중
But, Paige, as you rightly pointed out, you know, this is the same as having it in parentheses.발음듣기
대기중
So when you have them in pairs like so, it's "The bug--which landed on my nose--had to be the size of a softball."발음듣기
대기중
If we really wanted to, we could take it right out of the sentence, kind of like an appositive, right, with commas.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Mm-hmm. So the colon has this linking power, right, it can introduce ideas, it can start a list, you can do the same thing with a dash.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Me, too. So, right. So we're using this to introduce this idea the same way that we would had it then a colon.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Yeah, the dash is like an actor that can use like do the jobs of all these other punctuation marks.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And the fourth use of the dash is, again, to indicate interruptions, but specifically to indicate interruptions in speech.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Wham. So we're using this dash to say that this sentence was interrupted by something, and then, you know, we deploy the sound effect.발음듣기
대기중
So if you're trying to write down dialogue that is being cutoff by something, by another person interrupting, by an avalanche of ice cream, I don't know, whatever it is, then you would use a dash at the end of the sentence.발음듣기
대기중
And you wouldn't have to do any kind of terminal punctuation, no need for a period or a question mark or an exclamation point.발음듣기
대기중
So I wouldn't say that the dash as an actor can perform the same roles as terminal punctuation, as periods or question marks or exclamation points, but rather I would say that it is cutting off the sentence before we can even get to where those would live.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Okay, yeah, it's saying there would've been more words in this sentence and then terminal punctuation, but.발음듣기
대기중
They are used to mark interruptions in the structure of a sentence, like, "I ran to the bus stop--but the bus had already driven away."발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] They can act like parentheses when they're used in pairs, so like, "The bug--which landed on my nose--had to be the size of a softball."발음듣기
