What you need to know
To achieve 100 you need to recognise the correct use of a parenthesis.
- A parenthesis is an 'extra' part of the sentence. The sentence can make sense without it. There are three forms of punctuating parenthesis: commas, brackets and dashes.
- A parenthesis can be used to:
give examples: Goats will eat almost anything (grass, vegetables, bits of rubbish);
add information: Bats, a protected species, must not be killed;
add a comment: Edward – late as usual – finally arrived at school.
