Brackets

Bee eating1. Brackets are used when you add something to your writing.

    My pal Snozzy (who has red hair) is an Everton supporter.

2. The sentence should be complete, even if the contents of brackets are removed.

    The rock band (who were in Liverpool for a gig) appeared on TV that night.

3. When brackets are used at the end of a sentence, the full stop falls outside the bracket (like this one).

4. The writing inside brackets should be as short as possible, so as not to interrupt the flow of the sentence.

5. You should only use brackets occasionally. If you use them too frequently, they create a choppy effect.
