Here are ways to use the hyphen, the dash, and parentheses.
Hyphens Use a hyphen if part of a word must be carried over from one line to the

have at least two letters. Make sure that the word is separated between syllables.

Incorrect: ladd - er bet - ween bel - ow
Use hyphens in certain compound words, such as self-made and great-uncle.
Use hyphens in compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine.
Use hyphens in spelled-out fractions, such as one-third and four-fifths.
Dashes Use dashes to show an abrupt break in thought.
The Big Dipper—if I can find it—is in the northern sky.
Parentheses Use parentheses to set off material that is loosely related to the rest
of the sentence.

Identify the text structure of the following passages. Underline signal words and clues that helped you
determine each structure.
_____________________1. Wild chimpanzees are rapidly disappearing. Some
people are trying to solve this problem. Otherwise, chimpanzees may one day
exist only in zoos. People are trying to save the rain forests and woodlands where
the chimps live from being cut down. It will take many people working together to
solve this problem.
_____________________2. Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways.
A baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles it. After chimpanzees fight, they kiss
and make up. When one chimpanzee comforts another, it gives it a hug or pat on
the back. There are, of course, many ways that chimpanzees and humans are
different. Chimpanzees are smaller and stronger than humans. An adult male
chimpanzee stands three or four feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds. But a
chimpanzee can lift more weight than a man who is six feet tall.
_____________________3. Chimps live in groups and like each other a lot, but
sometimes they fight. Because they don’t want to stay angry at each other after a
fight, they make up by holding a hand out to the other and kissing. They show
they are sorry with pats and hugs. Then the anger goes away.
_____________________4. A chimpanzee’s body is made for climbing and
swinging in the trees. First, it uses its long arms to reach a branch. Next, with its
flexible hands and feet, it grabs and hooks on to the branch. Finally, it swings
from that branch to another branch of tree.
_____________________5. It is fun to read about chimpanzees. All wild
chimpanzees live in Africa. They live mostly in thick rain forests and in
woodlands. There are two types, or species, of chimpanzees—the common
chimpanzee and the bonobo, also known as the pygmy chimpanzee.
