Can you use a dash to separate two complete sentences?

English Language & Usage Asked by Zulfiyya Alizada on May 16, 2021

The term was from her party days – she always looked for a way to incorporate party slang into our lives.

Should there be a dash there?

One Answer

It's OK, if you want a little extra drama. Otherwise, I would use a semicolon in that particular sentence. In Word on a Mac use Option+Shift+hyphen for an em dash.
