Parentheses, very mysterious. When do you use them? I don't know the last time I used them. I can't even remember when to use them or why you use them. There are probably many places where I should use them, but instead substitute a comma. One rule for using parentheses is to enclose words, phrases, numbers that are clarify another part of the sentence.
Example: He owes me a dollar ($1).
You also use parentheses when you are listing items. If the phrase inside the parentheses is a complete sentence then you use a period. Better examples were found at this website.
