• Punctuation
• Colons
• Use to introduce a list (statement must be
  concluded then write the list). Ex. Noted
  American aviators include these Wiley Post,
  Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart.
• Use a colon before a formal quotation. Ex.
  Winston Churchill said this about public
  speaking If you have an important point to
  make, dont try to be subtle or clever..
• Use a colon in time, (125) verse, (Job 6 1-8)
  Business letter, (Sir or Madam).
• Semicolon
• Use to separate two main clauses (sentences) that
  do not use a conjunction.
• Ex. She cant play the drums I know she would
  like to learn.

• Use a semicolon when you have a list of things
  using commas. . Ex. Hawaiian words familiar to
  many mainlanders include luau, which means
  feast aloha, which can mean love, welcome,
  or farewell and hula, which means dance.
• 3. Use to separate two main clauses joined by a
  coordinating conjunction (but, so, for, and) when
  such clauses already contain several commas. Ex.
  Travel ads often focus on Oahus attractions,
  such as Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, and Diamond
  Head but the state has many other interesting
  sites.
• 4. Use a semicolon to separate main clauses
  joined by a conjunctive adverb or by an
  expression such as for example or that is. Ex.
  There are 132 Hawaiian island however, nearly
  all residents live on seven of the islands.

  but, and, so, for, nor, yet. Ex. I recognize
  her, but I cant think of her name.
• 2. Use commas to separate a series of things.
• Ex. drinks, cups, and ice. Ex. Ayala is a

• --Use to separate extra word. Ex. Waving, the
  flag showed her colors. Ex. My brother, Bob,
  came home yesterday.
• --After a prepositional phrase. Ex. During the
  final minutes of the game, the crowd cheered
  wildly.
• Comma in titles, (Name, M.D.) addresses,
  (Lumberton, NC) and numbers, (May 20, 2006).
• Use between coordinate modifiers. Ex. She is a
  smart, athletic student.
• 6. Underline big things (ex magazines, Time) and
  (ex articles in a magazine Our Schools
  Today).
