Welcome to the fifth post in the series: Punctuation For Beginners. This post is all about colons and semicolons.
Punctuation is the name for the marks we use in writing. Punctuation marks are tools that have set functions. We use them to give a sentence meaning and rhythm.
These are the most common punctuation marks:
- The Full Stop

- The Semicolon
- The Colon
- The Hyphen
- The Em Dash
- The Bracket or Parenthesis
