WRITING CENTER Semicolons and Colons Last edited: 04/04/2021 DRR 4 4. Use a colon to link a main clause with an appositive.An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that re-names a noun or pronoun. To test this usage, substitute namely for the colon. If namely makes sense, the colon has been used properly.
