[@frequently_unavailable9527]

I have classes and this is the first time that I've actually completely understood where and when to put and dash and how it is used. Thank you so much for this. I looked at the question and by what you've shown in the beginning, I was able to answer the question without hesitation. Again, thank you so much.

Thank you so much for easy bite sized videos.

[@nalee1]

On the SAT is the answer always an em dash when it has been previously used or shown in a sentence or two before the question? -Thank You

[@PrepExpert]

Dashes will always pair up with other dashes when used to offset something in the middle - this statement for example - such as an appositive or parenthetical statement. However, be careful about extreme language like always, because there are other uses for dashes.

[@murphy903]

Great job, Clay! You make it easy to understand. Thank you.

You are perfect teacher

[@aniruddhkatiwal9950]

But it was really helpful understanding the use of dash ur vedio really helped thanks🙂

[@thechosenkiwi7871]

What if you have a choice between one comma and one dash at the end of an independent clause. Do you always default to a dash?

[@PrepExpert]

It depends what comes after the independent clause. I would not ALWAYS default to a dash. A pair of dashes is essentially interchangeable with a pair of commas, but they must match up correctly. A single dash is often interchangeable with a single colon.

[@agentprismarine2778]

I have one question in the example question. Although I understand how the d option is correct, Why is the option a wrong. Wouldn't the question as it is, be grammatically correct ?

[@Aksafos]

This video deserves more views. I am from ethiopia and am taking sat on may.the math part is very easy. But am struggling with English part cause it is my second language. I hope this video, help me.

[@PrepExpert]

Thank you for your kind words. Good luck on your May SAT! Be sure to watch all the free videos and please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you prepare.

[@Aksafos]

@@PrepExpert actually there is something you can help me on. How do I approach the reading part ?

[@PrepExpert]

@@Aksafos Here are two quick tips that we cover in more detail in our courses: 1. Use your pencil: Keep it in your hand and use it to keep your placed. Take LIGHT annotations to organize your thoughts as you read. 2. Read in bite sized chunks. If you read the whole passage before looking at the questions, you will run out of time, and you may forget what you've read. Answer the questions as you read, especially the questions that tell you what line you can find the answers on.

Instead of using a single dash, could you possibly use a semicolon instead?

[@zhixin7263]

What’s the difference between parenthesis and dashes? I have PSAT trm and I’m stressed omg

[@ianthesecond]

awesome.

[@PrepExpert]

Glad you think so!

[@sparshsehgal7368]

Thank u for helping me .

[@thestarsbehindme]

You were only talking about em-dashes, right? Many people still get confused over em-dashes and en-dashes. Shouldn’t you have explained that difference as well?

[@yooo497]

it’s sad we don’t learn this in school

[@meghana7576]

exactly.. i have never learnt such firm, grammar rules in school. the only reason i am fond of a few, is because of preparation for standardized tests.

[@delyana2261]

wow ty !!! this rlly helps

[@adamfranz4348]

What about using a Dash in a quoted sentence?

[@PrepExpert]

that's not really tested on the SAT or ACT, but dashes in quotations should follow the same rules as if they are not in quotations

[@karimsibai7915]

Thank

[@justangawitharocketlaunche1226]

Thx

[@millecinematics]

So commas don’t emphasize? Or

[@aniruddhkatiwal9950]

But the added info starts with despite and that makes it dependent isn't it so how can it close with an dash ¿ Isn't it i think there should be no punctuation over there?? I m not really sure if i am right... Anyway 😅

[@justine5870]

yooo, this is soo helpful

[@janepatricio1993]

Oh, so the pair of dashes is an alternative way of using a " ( ) " ?

[@fmsdabbed8090]

essentially, yes

[@mousamuneebexplorer]

Great

[@PrepExpert]

Thank you!

[@carmiliongr]

Why are you using en instead of em dash?

[@marccepeci2980]

In the last question, you explain why D is the answer. However, you do not state why the other three answer choices and INCORRECT. Can you please do that. Thanks

[@nbathula]

On the 2014-2015 act practice test, question 4 asks about a phrase that gets interjected by a dash and ends with a comma. It does not follow the rule of having both commas or both dashes. Could you please look at that question and let me know why that sentence is correct? Thank you!

[@nbathula]

Here is the sentence --> I ride this trail nearly every day - not on a bike, but on "Luigi."

[@TehXyllo]

@@nbathula that follows the rules of a single dash. the independent clause is on the left and the emphasized information just happens to contain a comma.
