Colon A colon can sometimes be used to introduce lists. You need the following ingredients: eggs, butter, flour, sugar and milk.

Colons Are used in plays. Tom: Don’t forget to lock the door. Lisa: I won’t. Tom: And close all the windows.

Remember the saying “A stitch in time saves nine.” All my tools were stolen a hammer, saw, screwdriver and wire cutters. I enjoy all subjects French, Spanish, English and Maths. Roald Dahl wrote many books James and the Giant Peach, Esio Trot and The Twits. I shall never forget his advice “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
