Em Dash
I've been curious about a dash (—) in sentences for a while.
I looked it up because I'm not sure how to use it.
・To add supplementary explain
・To emphasize something
・To change to flow of sentences
(For example)
I want to tell you one thing——your effort will pay off.

This reason has a grammar error.
Perhaps "to add supplementary information / explanations" is what you read? "Explain" is only a verb, never a noun.
・To change tohe flow of sentences
・To change the flow of sentences
I'm guessing this is the meaning you intended.

I love this punctuation! I use it often--perhaps too often!

I didn't realize it.
I thought I had written "explanation", but I didn’t.

Thank you for checking my writing.

(For example):
For example:
I want to tell you one thing——your effort will pay off.
I want to tell you one thing—your effort will pay off.
You only need to use one em dash in a row.

Using em dashes is very fun! I see them used a lot for giving extra information, they work like parentheses. Here's an example sentence:
My mom made my favorite food—spaghetti and meatballs—for my birthday dinner.

Thank you for letting me know.

Feedback
The em dash is a weird thing that is more about feeling than anything.
To be honest, I never use the actual character (—) for it -- I only ever type it like this (double short dashes).
Another note is that, for whatever reason, LLMs absolutely ADORE em dashes, to the degree that using them in your writing will make people suspect that you are a bot.
So I would suggest using it very minimally, or the shorthand way I mentioned -- at least until LLMs go away. :)
(I used (--) more in this comment than I normally would, to give you more examples of usage)

Thank you so much.
I'm not used to using the em dash, so I thought I'd practices writing some sentences using it.
But if I use it, I should use the (--).
