*4. Conjunctive Adverbs*

A conjunctive adverb is a word that connects two independent clauses (complete sentences) together, showing a relationship between them. It also shows the transition from one idea to another.

Functions:

- Connects independent clauses

- Shows relationships like time, contrast, addition, cause-and-effect, etc.

- Can start a sentence, but must be followed by a comma

 

Examples:

 

- However, I still need to finish my work. (Contrast)

- Therefore, I will attend the meeting. (Cause-and-effect)

- Additionally, she is also a great artist. (Addition)

- Meanwhile, the others were waiting patiently. (Time)

- Nevertheless, I still believe in him. (Contrast)

- Consequently, the project was delayed. (Cause-and-effect)

- Similarly, we also faced the same issue. (Comparison)

- Thus, the problem was solved. (Cause-and-effect)

 

Note that conjunctive adverbs can be moved within a sentence, but their function remains the same.

 

For example:

"I still need to finish my work; however, I will attend the meeting."

 

Or:

"I will attend the meeting; therefore, I need to finish my work."

 

In both cases, the conjunctive adverb connects the two independent clauses and shows a relationship between them.

- Moreover, I think we should consider other options.
