How to Write in an Exam (5) – Advanced Punctuation

An English tutor is often asked to help students improve the technical accuracy of their writing. Sound teaching can really help here, and I teach my students what I call “advanced punctuation”.

I’m talking about colons and semi-colons: these are often mis-used.   [COLON]

Both are important punctuation marks; both have a slightly different purpose.  [SEMI COLON]

And if you read over those last two sentences, you might be able to work out what the difference is!
