After reading a lot of Spanish written stuff, I have never seen a hyphen or dash used, "-" do they use dashes or hyphens in Spanish?

Yes but only when cutting a word at the end of a line.

A hyphen. And why might English use a coma earlier a citation? i do no longer think people who show vegitative properites are substantial in quoting issues. until eventually you mean a comma?

I DON'T AGREE WITH SURFCHIKA, MAYBE SHE DOESN'T KNOW WELL THE SPANISH LANGUAGE. SPANISH IS NOT LIGHT AT ALL, IN FACT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD, AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. I'M COLOMBIAN, SO I SPEAK SPANISH AND I CAN SAY THAT IN OUR LANGUAGE, THE PUNCTUATION IS VERY IMPORTANT IN WRITTEN TEXTS. MAN, I REALLY ADVICE YOU TO READ GARCIA MARQUEZ'S BOOKS, ARE EXCELLENT TEXTS AND YOU WILL REALIZE HOW RICH IS SPANISH IN PUNCTUATION. AS FOR YOUR QUESTION, YES, WE USE HYPHENS.

Yeah, we use hyphens and other punctuation marks a lot. You should try reading novels and you'll see.

They do, but not nearly as commonly as we do in english. Spanish is generally light on puncuation.

No they don't. They might be some extremely rare exceptions that I may not know of though
