Kavi Looks Back on Term 2

"Look how much you have grown this term, clever writer!" cheered Kavi. "We learned two strong marks — the semicolon that joins two whole sentences and the colon that opens onto a list or a reason; we tucked extra information inside a pair of dashes, brackets or commas; we used modal verbs like might, must and can't to show how sure we are; we felt the connotation a word carries; we proofread for slips; and we weighed two viewpoints and asked whether a glossy claim could be proved. Today we use all of it together — let's show what we know!"

A peek inside

Choose the right mark: "We had one goal ▢ to win the final." (semicolon or colon?)
the part before could stand alone, and what follows explains the goal → a colon introduces the explanation

Try this at home: Semicolon or colon? 'The sky grew dark ___ the wind began to howl.'
