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

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.
