What you will learn
These four symbols share keys with the right-hand digits: Shift and 7 gives &, Shift and 8 gives *, Shift and 9 gives (, and Shift and 0 gives ). The right hand presses the number key and the left pinky holds the left Shift key.
Brackets come in pairs, so every opening bracket in the lessons has a closing one. The ampersand appears in short forms such as Q&A and in phrases such as tips & tricks.
Practise level 27
Tips for this level
- Reach for the number key with the same finger as the digit: index for 7, middle for 8, ring for 9, pinky for 0.
- Keep the left pinky on Shift for the whole bracket, then let go. Do not tap Shift twice.
- Type the text inside the brackets at the same pace as the text outside.
