Sentence
connectors are words and phrases that connect sentences to help with
understanding. Sentence connectors are also known as linking language. This
linking language can be used to order what you have to say, show opposition,
provide clarification and so on. In many grammar books, you will find
information about sentence connectors when reading about subordinating
conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions and so on.
Once you have mastered the basics of correct
usage in written English, you will want to express yourself in increasingly
complex ways. One of the best ways to improve your writing style is to use
sentence connectors. Sentence connectors are used to express relationships
between ideas and to combine sentences. The use of these connectors will add
sophistication to your writing style.
