What are hyphens, en dash and em dashes?

The hyphen connects two things that are intimately related

The en dash connects things that are related to each other by distance, as in the May–September

The em dash allows, in a manner similar to parentheses, an additional thought to be added within a sentence by sort of breaking away from that sentence
