A THIRD WAY TO DO IT:

; TRANSITIONAL WORD,

COMMON TRANSITIONAL WORDS: however   therefore   also nevertheless   on the other hand  in general   likewise

Check your email for the document that I sent you. “Introduction to Transitional Terms” Check your “JUNK” folder.

If you don’t have it, email me and I will email it to you.

You don’t have to use the semicolon if you don’t want to. You can still use the transitional terms. The transitional terms will make your sentence writing smoother, more coherent, more linked together. You writing will flow better.

COMPOUND
