My office system was not getting connected to the internet(it was neither connecting with the wifi nor with my phone's hotspot). I tethered my phone with the system using a USB cable(I plugged in the USB in a port behind the CPU) and then I was able to access the internet on that computer.

Please check my sentences.

I don't think those lines needed parentheses. But when you want to use parentheses:

- put a space before a left parenthesis.
- put a space after a right parenthesis.
- always have both a left and a right parenthesis.
- when the parenthetical expression is inside a larger sentence, do not put a full stop inside the parentheses.
- when the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the full stop goes before the right parenthesis.

Charlie, please note that "parentheses" is plural. The singular is "parenthesis".
