Instructions

If a series of homogeneous members is preceded by a generalizing word, after it. For example: "Everyone was present at the celebration of the city day: girls and, men and women, children and old people." The general word here is "everything." The colon is also put if there is no generalizing word preceding the homogeneous members, but you need to warn the reader about the subsequent listing. For example: “Walking through the forest and picking mushrooms, we found: ten boletus boletus, seven aspen mushrooms, two porcini mushrooms and many chanterelles”.

It is important to note that if homogeneous members are expressed by proper names, be they the names of literary works, geographic names, etc., and they are preceded by a common application or a defined word (city, river, book), a colon is not put in such cases. The intonational warning pause, characteristic of generalizing words, is also absent when reading. For example: "Over the summer, a schoolboy works" War and Peace "," Taras Bulba "," Quiet Don "and others."

After the generalizing word, there can be the words “somehow”, “that is,” “namely,” “for example”. In this case, they are separated from the generalizing word by a comma, and after them: "For lunch in the student canteen, various soups were offered, such as: cabbage soup, pickle, borsch, soup with meatballs." If the sentence does not end on homogeneous terms, they are also separated from the generalizing word by a colon, but a dash is placed after them. For example: "And everything around: the fields, and the roads, and the air, was saturated with the gentle evening sun."

In a complex sentence with one subordinate clause, a colon is placed before the last if the main sentence contains words warning of further clarification: "I dreamed of only one thing: that the pain would finally subside." If there are no such words, the subordinate clause is separated from the main comma.

In some cases, a colon is placed between parts of a non-union complex sentence. So, this punctuation mark is used when the second part of a non-union sentence explains, reveals the content of what is said in the first part (you can insert "namely"). For example: "The teacher of ethics had one very important property: he did not like to death when they slept in his class."

In a complex non-union sentence, a colon is also required if the first part of it contains the verbs “see”, “hear”, “feel”, “know”, etc., warning the reader that any description or presentation of some kind will follow. either fact. For example: "I know: we cannot be together." But if there is no warning intonation, a comma can be put instead of a colon.

In the second part of a complex non-union sentence, the reason, the reason for what is said at the beginning, can be indicated, in which case a colon is also required (you can insert "because", "since"): "The barrier at the level crossing was omitted: with there was a train going to the station. " Also, the second part can be a direct question: “I walked through the forest and thought: why do I live? what was I born for? "
