Colons and Semicolons

Colon (:)

Generally, the first word following the colon should be lower-cased if the words after the colon form a dependent clause (that is, if they could not stand on their own as a complete sentence). If the following phrase is a complete (independent) clause, you may choose to capitalize it or not. Make sure to be consistent throughout the video with this.

Semicolon (;)

These are very versatile. They can be used to join two independent clauses that share an idea. Don't be afraid to use them.
