Can anyone explain the method for using paranthases in sentences including what they do and how to use them with punctuation marks. I will be so appreciative, and will give whoever can explain it properly for a paper I'm writing a high mark.

thank you

Use of parenthesis should probably be minimized. If a sentence is closing with a parenthetical note the period comes outside the closing parenthesis. Any other form of punctuation that is not within the wording of the parenthetical note also should be outside the parenthesis. If a parenthetical note comes within the body of the sentence the wording outside the sentence must form a proper sentence independently of the parenthetical note, otherwise get rid of the parenthesis and work the thought into the sentence. For guidelines far better than I'm able to suggest I'd recommend picking up one of the numerous writing guides available. Little Brown Compact Handbook is excellent.

I usually use them to give less formal opinions or extra, unneccessary (dunno if unneccessary is spelled like that with 3 double letters). Usually I put em in to clarify some point, or keep people from getting the wrong impression from what I wrote
