ChanteSez … Make a dash for it, part 2

Lesson No. 2 on dashes: Use them when there’s an abrupt change, interruption or addition to a sentence.

For example:

• I’ll bet she never smiled — why would she?
• What would be the point of saying more — I’ve explained everything I can.
• Sometimes you just need a friend — even when there are lots of acquaintances around.
