Sentence 11

His sentence: They were funny-looking people: long hair, strange clothes, weighed down with fancy earrings and bracelets.

In this sentence, a colon is used to start a list of adjectives that described the subject of the first clause.

My sentence: They were incredibly creepy: dark blue cloaks, hidden faces, never talked.
