6. Colons; Colons and Semi-Colons 1st Form Punctuation Work

Colons The colon carries the first part of a sentence to the details, speech or information following. As it is not a full stop, the word after the colon does not have a capital letter.

The Colon has three functions Colons can be used to show a quotation will follow Hamlet’s major speech begins like this: “To be or not to be...” HM Prison Notice: “Haircuts while you wait”. Colons are used before a list of some kind Dickens wrote many memorable novels: David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations Colons explain or expand an idea. The colon “accepts” the first part of the sentence, then passes it on to the second part. Animals are to be envied: they know nothing of the evils of the world.

Colons and semi-colons You can use colons and semi-colons in the same sentence: you just have to be sure you are clear as to what job they have. The colon is like a springboard: you land on it and are propelled forward. The semi-colon is like the pivot of a see-saw to balance or contrast We receive three educations: (‘springboard’ colon: expands an idea) one from our teachers; (balancing semi-colon) one from our parents; (balancing semi-colon) and one from the world. This is your Captain speaking. I have good news and bad news: (‘springboard’ colon: expands an idea) the ship has broken the record to France; (contrast semi-colon) your luggage, however, is still in England.
