colon
large intestine
A colon is a punctuation mark that is used to introduce a list, a quotation, or an explanation or conclusion.
1. To introduce a list:
Example: There are three fruits in the basket: apples, bananas, and oranges.
2. To introduce a quotation:
Example: The professor said: “The exam will cover chapters 1-5.”
3. To introduce an explanation or conclusion:
Example: I have two reasons for not attending the party: I have work to do and I am feeling tired.
It is important to note that a colon is used after an independent clause (a complete sentence that can stand on its own) and is followed by either a list, a quotation, or an explanation/conclusion.
