Colons Challenge

This week, we have learnt how to use colons correctly to punctuate sentences. 

Key Learning Points:

• Colons can introduce a list.
• There needs to be a main clause before the colon.
• Colons can introduce an explanation.
• Colons can replace the word 'because'.
• Colons can introduce a 'reveal'.
