What is the function of the colon?
The colon is a very important punctuation mark in Vietnamese, helping to make sentences clearer, more coherent, and easier to understand. The colon has various functions depending on the context in which it is used.
A period placed at the end of a sentence indicates that the sentence has concluded. At the end of every sentence, a period must be used. When reading, encountering a period requires lowering the voice and pausing (pause for a duration approximately equal to reading one word). The first letter of a sentence must be capitalized after a period. The period is usually placed at the end of a declarative sentence and also has the ability to mark the end of a paragraph.
The colon will be taught in the 3rd-grade Vietnamese Language curriculum.
