    This was very helpful. Do you have any videos on when to use dashes?

      "The em dash can be used in place of a colon when you want to emphasize the conclusion of your sentence."

    Do you use a pause when reading a colon?

    Have a question what happens when the first sentence ends with the word “are” then puts the colon and list the objects, is that gramatically correct?

    • @Spritualkay.lovess
      @Spritualkay.lovess Před 4 lety +1

      We only use colons after an independent clause. Soo no because if it ends with “are” it’s NOT an independent sent. or clause

    Why is #26 that answer shouldn’t there be a subordinating conjunction joining the two clauses or whatever you wanna say? Am I missing the point here in see the word we after the first part that doesn’t connect the two sentences ? That’s a comma slice aye ? Idk

    • @millecinematics
      @millecinematics Před 3 lety

      Like I get the whole answer just not the part where subordinating conjunction was brought in and then put a comma after the answer wasn’t a subordinating conjunction aye? Please help
