Connectors
Connectors (linking words) join ideas and make your writing clearer and more fluent.
| Function | Connectors | Example |
|---|
| Addition | and, also, moreover, furthermore | I like tennis and football. |
| Contrast | but, however, although, on the other hand | It was cold, but we went out. |
| Cause | because, since, as | I stayed home because I was ill. |
| Result | so, therefore, as a result | It rained, so we cancelled the trip. |
| Time | first, then, next, finally, after that | First I had breakfast, then I left. |
| Example | for example, such as, for instance | Some fruits, such as oranges, have vitamin C. |
Although vs However vs But
Ejemplo
Although it was raining, we went to the park. (at the beginning or middle of a sentence)
It was raining. However, we went to the park. (at the start of a new sentence, with a comma)
It was raining, but we went to the park. (joins two clauses)
Recuerda
"Because" answers "why?" (cause). "So" shows the result. "Although/however/but" show contrast (something unexpected).
