The colon basically means
'and', and the semicolon
means 'beacuse' and 'but'
so if you were to use
them in a sentence you
are replacing the words
they stand for
Brackets /

You put brackets when you
are adding extra information
that is a surbordinate clause
*e.g* (that doesn't make
sense on its own)

starting a new sentence but still
relating to the past one e.g The
model-an enormous dinosaur
skeleton-was a big hit at the
museum. it also kind of acts
like brakets

You would use
apostrophes when
you are showing
possession or
joining two words
e.g1 that is ruby's
phone eg2 You
don't (do not) have
to do that.
Phrases and Clauses

sentences that don't make
sense on their own e.g The
DVD, *which i bought
yesterday*, was actually a VDD
(very dusty disc)
The main clause is
just a simple
sentence e.g I've
ran out of
shampoo.
Connectives
There are many different
types of connectives for
instance there is FANBOYS
(for, and, nor, but, yet, so). You
use them when you are joining
two clauses. e.g She remained
calm *until* I ran up and down
screaming
