<p>Can anyone explain to me what punctuation I might use in this situation? I have a sentence that goes something like this: "I yearn for the next great step in my life____ the next great crescendo." What would I put in the blank? My instinct tells me to just put a comma or a dash. Another ex: "...because with each decision I make comes a new insight_____ a new note added to the song." Thanks</p>
<p>PLEASE?! Help me?</p>
<p>Your instinct is correct, you could use either a coma or a dash “–”<br>
The coma reads more subtly whereas a dash sets off the ending more dramatically, giving it added emphasis. However, you don’t want to overuse the dash.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I would use a dash for the first one and a comma for the second</p>
