secrets. Okay, and this one was a little

8:44

hard for me to read out. We have the

8:46

most obvious ones if you are reading the

8:48

screen right now. I know some of you

8:50

like to listen to my videos. The missing

8:53

capital letter at the beginning of the

8:55

word next and the missing full stop at

8:58

the end after secrets. But, the other

9:00

mistake is in those two dots, one on top

9:04

of the other.

9:05

This is a punctuation mark called a

9:07

colon.

9:09

Colons can be used to introduce lists,

9:11

explanations, and quotations among many

9:14

other things. We'll concentrate on what

9:16

we have in front of us and the key here

9:19

is that colons should appear after an

9:22

independent clause.

9:24

But, next time someone criticizes your

9:27

weird snack is a dependent clause. So,

9:30

it shouldn't be followed by a colon to

9:32

link it to another clause.

9:34

Instead, we could have a comma after

9:37

snack. Or we could turn the first part

9:41

into an independent clause. Next time

9:44

someone criticizes your weird snack,

9:46

comma, do this. Colon. Or here's what to

9:51

do next time someone criticizes your

9:54

weird snack. Colon. So that's it. We've
