Practice Makes Perfect

Linking thoughts within a sentence

Smooth transitions from one thought to another within a sentence are clearly 

important to communicate effectively. This can be achieved by the use of adverbs 

and conjunctions.

Using coordinating and subordinating conjunctions

Using conjunctions will help sentences flow in a logical manner, making your 

message clear to the reader. These conjunctions may serve in a variety of ways 

such as adding an idea, e.g., et (and); explaining an idea, e.g., car (for); or oppos-

ing an idea, e.g., bien que (although). You may review Chapter 9 for coordinating 

conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions.
