Punctuation
Colons:
•
Use to introduce a list (statement must be concluded then write
the list). Ex. Noted American aviators include these: Wiley
Post, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart.
•
Use a colon before a formal quotation. Ex. Winston Churchill
said this about public speaking: “If you have an important
point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever…..”
•
Use a colon in time, (1:25); verse, (Job 6: 1-8); Business letter,
(Sir: or Madam:).
Semicolon;
1.
Use to separate two main clauses (sentences) that do not use a
conjunction.
Ex. She can’t play the drums; I know she would like to learn.
EOC Study Guide, page 8
2.
Use a semicolon when you have a list of things using commas. .
Ex. Hawaiian words familiar to many mainlanders include luau,
which means “feast”; aloha, which can mean “love,” “welcome,”
or “farewell”; and hula, which means “dance”.
3.
Use to separate two main clauses joined by a coordinating
conjunction (but, so, for, and) when such clauses already
contain several commas. Ex. Travel ads often focus on Oahu’s
attractions, such as Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, and Diamond
Head; but the state has many other interesting sites.
4.
Use a semicolon to separate main clauses joined by a
conjunctive adverb or by an expression such as for example or
that is. Ex. There are 132 Hawaiian island; however, nearly all
residents live on seven of the islands.
EOC Study Guide, page 9

for, nor, yet. Ex. I recognize her, but I can’t think of her name.

Ex. drinks, cups, and ice. Ex. Ayala is a member of the
Debaters’ Club, the Glee Club, and the swimming team.
