শিক্ষার্থীরা, আজ তোমাদের জন্য ইংরেজি পাঠ্য বইয়ের লেসন-১৭ Punctuation: Using a hyphen নিয়ে আলোচনা করব।
One day Ms Nafisa, the English teacher, came into the class.
“You’ve already learned about a full stop, a comma, a semicolon, a question mark and a dash. Haven’t you”
She asked the class.
“Yes, teacher,” was the reply.
Ms Nafisa then drew a short line (-) on the blackboard and asked the class, “What’s this short line called?”
Student 1: It’s a dash, teacher.
Ms Nafisa: Hmm…….It looks like a dash. But it’s not so. It’s much shorter than a dash. It’s a hyphen.
