    Marilyn,

    The English Letter Indicator is required only for the "B" in the example you give.

    Thus, the braille for "P(A give B)" is:

    ⠠⠏⠷⠠⠁⠀⠛⠊⠧⠑⠀⠰⠠⠃⠾

    See Nemeth Code section 28.a, especially the following sentence (emphasis added): "When only one letter or any combination of unspaced letters is in direct contact with only its opening or only its closing grouping sign, the English-letter indicator must be used (see section 26) or must not be used (see section 27) as though the grouping signs were not present."

    –Kyle
