“Introduction to Transitonal Terms”,
p.c.
We will continue with this
tomorrow. Our sentence writing ability will just keep getting bigger and
bigger.
Introduction to Transitional Terms
Transitional terms help paragraphs read more smoothly by
improving the connections between sentences. These are alternatives to
FANBOYS/SOBA in compound sentences. MODEL: I like dogs, but she likes cats. 1
compound sentence
I like dogs; however, she likes cats. 1 compound sentence
Also, you can place transitional terms between simple
sentences to make your writing sound smoother and more natural. This way is much more common than using a
semicolon.
MODEL: I like dogs. However,
she likes cats. 2 simple sentences
