Colons #1

Colons are used when the second part EXPLAINS the first part. The first part must be a complete sentence. The second part may or may not be. Don't capitalize the second part.

Write a sentence with a colon where the second part is a complete sentence that explains the first part.

For example...

Suzy was crazy: I saw her poop in her neighbor's yard.

(The second part explains how she was crazy.)
