Brackets, dashes, colons, semicolons and hyphens, sentence 0
Brackets, dashes and commas can all hold extra information that you could lift out and still leave a full sentence: "My dog (a spaniel) loves walks" still works as "My dog loves walks"; this extra part is called parenthesis.
Who acts: Brackets, you, dog · What happens: hold, lift out, leave, love, work, call · To what, where: extra information, full sentence, walks, extra part · Speech: someone speaks here
