Question

colon and semicolon functional skills English level 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The colon is used to separate two independent clauses when the second explains or illustrates the first. In such usage, the colon functions in much the same way as the semicolon. As with the semicolon, do not capitalize the first word after the colon unless the word is ordinarily capitalized.

colon is used to separate two independent clauses in which the second defines the first. In case of a semicolon, it is used for separation of sentence; stronger than a comma but not like that of a full stop.
