👉 08. Parentheses (  ) & Brackets [ ]

Parentheses are a set of curved brackets used around a word, phrase, or sentence. Parentheses are used to add further comments or explanations to the main point. The additional information isn't necessary to make the sentence clear. Parentheses are also called round brackets. However, their function is completely different than brackets which are also known as square brackets.

Where as Brackets [ ] are used to add clarity to a sentence. They are also used to indicate an interruption in a quote. The information in brackets is added to modify someone's quoted speech.

Parentheses
Parentheses can be used with just one word, a phrase, or a complete sentence. If the words inside the parentheses make a complete sentence, the period goes inside the closing parenthesis.
For example ;

• Parentheses (also known as round brackets) are a set of punctuation marks.
• Our cat (the laziest cat I know) sleeps whole the day.
• Sunder (our neighbor) takes the bus to school every day.
• I am attending the birthday party with Surya. (Surya is my friend.)
• You must watch this movie. (It'll blow you away.)

Brackets

Brackets can be used with just one word, a phrase, or a complete sentence. If the words inside the brackets make a complete sentence, the period goes inside the closing bracket.
For example ;

• The student complained to the class teacher, "He [ the boy on the last bench] stole my pencil."
• Mrs. Gita [the school principal] spoke with press reporters about the school function.
• The city traffic office raised the speed limit to 70 [miles an hour].
• He said, "I am not going there [ the Stadium]."
