An em dash, or long dash, is used:
- in pairs, to mark off information or ideas that are not essential to an understanding of the rest of the sentence:
Thousands of children—like the girl in this photograph—have been left homeless.
My son—where has he gone?—would like to meet you.
- to show other kinds of break in a sentence where a comma, semicolon, or colon would be traditionally used:
One thing’s for sure—he doesn’t want to face the truth.
Things have changed a lot in the last year—mainly for the better.
