SEMI-COLONS ; • A semi-colon, the dot over a comma, separates two independent but related sentences. It is a linking device. • As we’ve learned, a semi-colon can fix a run-on. INCORRECT: Whooping cranes are an endangered species; and they are unlikely to survive if we continue to pollute. WHY is it INCORRECT? • The “and” is a coordinating conjunction that serves to link the first sentence to the second. • Therefore, the semi-colon is redundant.

COLONS : The colon signals to the reader that information—a list, definition, explanation, concise summary—is about to follow. HINT: A full sentence usually precedes a colon. CHECK: ü once you put in a colon check what comes before it; is it a noun? Then you are probably correct to use the colon. ü If it’s not a noun, ask yourself if any punctuation is really needed or if what comes after the colon interrupts the sentence (thereby requiring punctuation). Is a noun implied? See next slide for an example.

COLONS : INCORRECT: Your instructions include the following steps, read the book, solve the equations, and check your answers. Why is it incorrect? • A list of instructions comes after the word “follows, ” so the colon, not the comma, should signal that to the reader. CHECK: “steps” is a noun INCORRECT: Your instructions include the following, read the book, solve the equations, and check your answers. Why is it incorrect? • A list of instructions comes after the word “follows, ” so the colon, not the comma, should signal that to the reader. CHECK: the list interrupts the sentence’s fluency. Also, following “instructions” is implied.
