CONNECTORS
Sentence Connectors are a great way of improving your English. Because we use them to express relationships between ideas and to combine sentences. When we begin learning a language, we speak in very basic sentences, a bit like children.
Example: “London is a very exciting city. London is very expensive.”
As we learn more words and more complex sentence structure, we are able to start using sentence connectors to make more sophisticated sentences.
Example: “London is a very exciting city; nevertheless it is also very expensive” or
“Despite the fact that London is very expensive, it is also very exciting”
There are various types of connectors. We can divide them into:
1.      Coordinating Conjunctions 
They connect words, phrases and clauses. They are usually found in the middle of a sentence with a comma (,) just before the conjuction, or at the beginning of the sentence.
Coordinating Conjunctions: for, and, no, but, or, yet, so
Example :
1.      Tom and Harry play hockey
2.      She studied hard but could not score well in the test.
3.      Shall we buy a book or a toy?

2.      Correlative Conjunctions 
They connect equal sentence elements together (like two nouns) and are always composed by two words.
Correlative Conjunctions: both...and, not only...but also, not...but, either...or, neither...or, whether...or, as...as
Example:
1.      My sister is both smart and intelligent
2.      Not only is she stupid but also stubborn
3.      Either Peter or John has taken the book
3.      Subordinating Conjunctions
They connect a dependent clause and an independent clause and establish a relationship between them. They happen at the beginning of a sentences (with a comma in the middle separating the clauses) or in the middle of a sentence with no comma.
Subordinating Conjunctions:
after
if
though
although
if only
till
as
in order that
unless
as if
now that
until
as long as
once
when
as though
rather than
whenever
because
since
where
before
so that
whereas
even if
than
wherever
even though
that
that
while
Example:
1.      I will not go to the market if it rains
2.      You could go and play after you have done the dishes
3.      You must dig the earth till you find water

4.      Linking Adverbs and Transition Words
They connect two independent clauses or sentences. They provide transition between ideas.
Linking Adverbs and Transition Words:
accordingly
however
nonetheless
also
indeed
otherwise
besides
instead
similarly
consequently
likewise
still
conversely
meanwhile
subsequently
finally
moreover
then
furthermore
nevertheless
therefore
hence
next
thus
