+Flow Control Statements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. crowbar:element:: FlowControlStatement <- ContinueStatement / BreakStatement / ReturnStatement
+
+.. crowbar:element:: ContinueStatement <- 'continue' ';'
+
+    Compile-time Behavior:
+
+    Only valid inside a :crowbar:ref:`WhileStatement`, :crowbar:ref:`DoWhileStatement`, or :crowbar:ref:`ForStatement` block.
+
+    Runtime Behavior:
+
+    When a continue statement is executed, the innermost loop statement (while, do-while, or for) that contains the continue statement skips the remainder of the execution of its block.
+    For a while or do-while loop, this means skipping to the condition.
+    For a for loop, this means skipping to the update assignments.
+
+.. crowbar:element:: BreakStatement <- 'break' ';'
+
+    Compile-time Behavior:
+
+    Only valid inside a :crowbar:ref:`WhileStatement`, :crowbar:ref:`DoWhileStatement`, or :crowbar:ref:`ForStatement` block.
+
+    Runtime Behavior:
+
+    When a break statement is executed, the innermost loop statement (while, do-while, or for) that contains the break statement ends entirely, skipping any remaining statements, condition tests, or updates.
+
+.. crowbar:element:: ReturnStatement <- 'return' Expression? ';'
+
+    Compile-time Behavior:
+
+    The expression provided must have a type matching the return type of the containing function.
+    If the function has a return type of ``void``, the expression must be omitted.
+
+    Runtime Behavior:
+
+    When a return statement with an expression is executed, the expression is evaluated, and the containing function returns with the value obtained from this evaluation.
+    When a return statement with no expression is executed, the containing function returns.
