Description
This is a mechanics unit covering the rules for colon and semicolon usage. This material should help your students better understand these marks of punctuation.
The following rules are covered:
Colons
Rule One: Use a colon in the greeting of a business letter.
Rule Two: Use a colon to separate the hour and minutes in the time.
Rule Three: Use a colon in between an introductory statement and a list, when the introductory statement contains the following, as follows, these, or a specific number.
Semicolons
Rule One: Use a semicolon to link two complete statements that are closely related.
Rule Two: Use a semicolon to separate items in a series containing commas.
Optional Rule Three: This rule is like an extension of rule one. Use a semicolon to join sentences that include words or phrases like the following:
- For example
- For instance
- That is
- Besides
- Furthermore
- Otherwise
- Therefore
- Consequently
- Hence
There are practice sheets for colons and semicolons separately, and a review that combines them. There is a two-page review, and a quiz, as well. Keys included for all work.
