What is the purpose of a colon according to the Literature knowledge in Vietnam?

The colon is a very important punctuation mark in Vietnamese, helping to make sentences clearer, coherent, and easier to understand. Its uses vary depending on the context.

A period placed at the end of a sentence signals that the sentence has ended. Writing the end of the sentence must be marked with a period. When reading, upon encountering a period, the voice should lower, and a brief pause should be taken (a pause equal to the time it takes to read one syllable). The first letter of the following sentence must be capitalized. A period is typically 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 Vietnamese language class in Grade 3.
