    Name Hyphens and Dashes

    Using Dashes
    Dashes indicate a change in direction in a sentence. They are
    stronger than a comma, but not as strong as a period. Dashes can
    be used to:

    • signal an explanation is coming;


    • create dramatic effect;
    • indicate an unfinished thought or comment; or
    • (a pair of dashes) set apart a group of words that provide an
    explanation or comment.

    DIRECTIONS: Rewrite each sentence, putting in the missing dashes.

    1. Rachel loves dogs all kinds of dogs.

    2. Jennifer is a hard worker the hardest worker I have ever seen.

    3. If it were me oh forget it.

    4. She recently got a promotion I can see why.

    5. I don’t mind as long as you are back by midnight.

    6. I am overwhelmed at work the tasks just keep on coming.

    7. Those boys the Weasley twins are always up to something.
