Question

In which case should you a hyphen instead of a dash.

Answer 1

A dash is mainly used for separating parts of sentences; it is alike a comma and parenthesis. A dash shows an interruption in the sentence. A hyphen is used to join words, divide words at the end of a sentence, and for words that are to be continued (suffixes, prefixes, etc).
