    LISTS IN SPANISH

    PUNCTUATION

    A colon usually follows the introduction,


    anticipating the listing.
    If the introduction is a full sentence, you
    can also use a full stop.

    For example:

    Los siguientes consejos te ayudarán


    a reducir el estrés:
    PUNCTUATION

    If the elements of the list continue the


    introductory sentence, or they are short,
    isolated items (instead of full sentences),
    it is recommended to write them in
    lowercase letters.
    PUNCTUATION

    In this case, use a semicolon or a comma at


    the end of each item, and a full stop after
    the final item of the list.

    For example:
    Los siguientes consejos te ayudarán a
    controlar el estrés:
    hacer deportes;
    pasar tiempo con familiares o amigos;
    meditar con frecuencia.
    PUNCTUATION

    If the elements of the list are full sentences,


    write the first letter in capital letters and
    finish each item with a full stop.

    For example:

    Encuentra tiempo para hacer actividad


    física al menos una hora al día.
    Visita a tus amigos o habla con tu familia
    si sientes angustia.
    Haz yoga o medita a diario.
    Do you have any
    other tip?
