Connectors
Words that are used to connect ideas are called connectors (or linking
devices). There are three main types of connectors: subordinating
conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions and transitions.
Subordinating conjunctions: A subordinating conjunction connects a
dependent clause to a main clause.
It shows how an idea in one clause is related to the idea in the other clause.
Coordinating conjunctions and Transitions: Both coordinating conjunctions
and transitions connect main
clauses. They show how ideas within sentences and also across sentences
are related.
Prepositions and prepositional phrases can also link ideas.
