- However, commas, semicolons, and colons all can appear within a sentence without ending it.
- Essentially, sentences that are divided by colons are of the form, "Sentence about something: list or definition related to that sentence."
- The elements that follow the colon may or may not be complete sentences.
- Because the colon is preceded by a sentence, it is a complete sentence whether what follows the colon is another sentence or not.

Modular 12 Arithmetic
- The compound (or 16-bar) sentence expands both the presentation and continuation phrases of a regular sentence to a typical length of eight bars each.
- A prototypical example of a compound sentence is Mozart's Trio for Piano, Clarinet, and Viola, K. 498, I., mm. 1–16.
- Note that bar length is not the important issue when deciding whether a theme is a regular sentence or a compound sentence.
- Sometimes a regular sentence is written down in a fast duple meter, and it takes up 16 bars.
- The key difference between the regular sentence and the compound sentence is that the regular sentence begins with two basic ideas and the compound sentence begins with two compound basic ideas.
