Starter Task
Main Task
Yesterday, you completed using brackets for parenthesis.
Today, I would like you practice using dashes for parenthesis.
Remember that parenthesis is when you can add a word, phrase or a clause to a sentence to provide more information.
When the extra information is removed, the sentence must still make sense.
For example:
* Buddy – my Golden Retriever – loves to play fetch with a ball.
* The shop – which was at the end of the cobbled street – had a doll in the window.
The dashes need to look like the ones in red above and need to go around the extra information.
