GRAMMAR MAN:
Hi! I have a quick challenge for you—I’m going to give you 3 sentences, and I want you to decide which sentences are punctuated correctly, and which sentence, or sentences, contain punctuation errors.
1. JFK was president from 1961 - 1963.
2. We learn three languages at school – German, French and Italian
3. Today – if you watch this lesson – you will learn how to use dashes perfectly.
Okay, so, all three sentences contained punctuation errors, and sentence one, contained two errors!
If you’re surprised by this information, then stick around, because in this lesson, I'm going to teach you the rules you need to use dashes and hyphens perfectly!

Today I have a very useful punctuation lesson for you: DASHES (plural), and the HYPHEN.
So there are actually THREE different horizontal lines we need to know about!
These are commonly used incorrectly in English by students, from beginners right up to advanced users, and even native speakers.
In today’s lesson, as I mentioned, I’m going to teach you the rules so that you can always use these perfectly in your writing, and express yourself accurately—express the meaning that you want to convey.
