How do you do brackets in English?

Answer 1

If you're talking about writing, we don't use [brackets]. Brackets are typically used in scientific or mathematical writings. Instead, we use (parentheses) as an aside comment or an explanation to a concept. They functions like informal commas.

Here are some examples:

-My brother (who is incredibly annoying) got suspended from school today.

-Gorillas are herbivores (an animal who only eats plants).
