    Uses of Colon:
    1. Use a colon to introduce a list,
    quote, or statement that you want
    to draw attention to in a complete
    sentence.
    Ex:
    This weekend, we will attend a variety
    of events: a concert, a fair, a football
    game, and church.
    Uses of Colon:
    2. Use a colon to separate
    numbers in various
    instances, such as time
    (12:30:01 a.m.), a ratio (2:1), or
    a scripture (John 3:16)
    Uses of Colon:
    3. Use a colon to separate a title
    from a subtitle in a book,
    lecture, or other body of work

    Ex:
    “Home: A Novel”
    Uses of Colon:
    4. Use a colon in memos or after a
    salutation in a formal/business letter.
    Ex:
    To Whom It May Concern:

    TO: John Adams


    FROM: Eve Santos
    Date: June 29, 2016
    Subject: June’s meeting
    Uses of Colon:
    5. Use a colon after a summarizing
    word.

    Ex:

    Example: babies
    Answer: chicken
    Uses of Colon:
    6. Use a colon in dialogue
    writing, such as in a script.

    Ex:

    John: I told you that I loved you.


    Uses of Semi-colon:
    1. Use a semi-colon to separate two
    complete,
    but related, sentences.

    Ex:

    I asked Mary to go to the game with me


    last week; she told me no.
    Uses of Semi-colon:
    2. Use a semi-colon to separate two,
    often contradictory, complete
    sentences with a conjunctive
    adverb like “however” or
    “therefore”.
    Ex: Sherry and I went to the movies
    earlier today; however, we missed the
    film that we wanted to see.
    Uses of Semi-colon:
    3. Use a semi-colon in a series, usually
    when it calls for multiple commas
    that could confuse the reader.
    Ex:
    The county high school’s homecoming
    court include Alvin Arnaldo, senior;
    Alixe Dato, junior; Lara Encinas,
    sophomore; and Khrista Blancaflor,
    freshman.
