Transition Words and Phrases
Writers use transitions to connect ideas between paragraphs and sentences. Transitions fall into 4 main categories:
Transitions that ADD introduce new information or examples to the text before it by giving examples, support, emphasis, additional information, and similarities.
Transitions that CONTRAST introduces information that disagrees or contrasts with the text before it.
CAUSE AND EFFECT transition words are used to express purpose (why something happened), consequence (what happened), and condition (what happens if).
Transitions that indicate a SEQUENCE are used to show the order in which events happened, the order that the writer presents them, to summarize information already given, and to indicate introductions and conclusions.
