It doesn\u2019t do us much good if we can craft dozens of sentences if we don\u2019t know how to connect them.<\/p>\n<p>Learning to skillfully connect sentences and paragraphs is an art in and of itself and takes some time to perfect. Luckily, there are some great words we can use that\u2019ll help us on our way to masterfully crafted sentences!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Transition_Words\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Transition Words<\/h2>\n<p>\nFirst, let\u2019s talk about how to connect sentences. There are five main ways. We can use transitional words, colons and semicolons, coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and conjunctive adverbs.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a few transitional words and phrases to start us off:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Additionally\/In addition to<\/li>\n<li>Likewise<\/li>\n<li>Except<\/li>\n<li>Thus<\/li>\n<li>Although<\/li>\n<li>Though<\/li>\n<li>Lastly<\/li>\n<li>Next<\/li>\n<li>Then<\/li>\n<li>Finally<\/li>\n<li>In conclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now let\u2019s look at an example!<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote many variations of plays. He wrote sonnets, a form of poetry, as well.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>After connecting these sentences using a <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/transitions\/\">transition phrase<\/a>, the new version might read as follows:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">In addition to writing various plays, Shakespeare also wrote sonnets, a form of poetry.<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Colons_and_Semicolons\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Colons and Semicolons<\/h2>\n<p>\nIn our next example, we\u2019ll look at colons and <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/semicolon-usage\/\">semicolons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Colons are used for lists, examples, and to explain previously mentioned ideas while semicolons combine related sentences or two independent clauses of related topics.<\/p>\n<p>Our initial paragraph looks like this:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of works. He wrote tragedies. He wrote comedies. He also wrote sonnets.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s use a colon to connect these sentences:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of works: tragedies, comedies, and sonnets.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Now let\u2019s try connecting some of these sentences with a semicolon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of works; he wrote tragedies, comedies, and sonnets.<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Coordinating_Conjunctions\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Coordinating Conjunctions<\/h2>\n<p>\nNext up: <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/coordinating-and-correlative-conjunctions\/\">coordinating conjunctions<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For<\/li>\n<li>And<\/li>\n<li>Nor<\/li>\n<li>But<\/li>\n<li>Or<\/li>\n<li>Yet<\/li>\n<li>So<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using coordinating conjunctions to connect sentences or ideas forms a compound sentence. For example, our raw sentences:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of plays. He wrote many poems.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>For this example, we\u2019ll use a coordinating conjunction from the list above to connect these two sentences. Because we\u2019ll be connecting two independent clauses, we\u2019ll need to include a comma directly before the conjunction is used. It now reads:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of plays, and he wrote many poems.<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Subordinating_Conjunctions\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Subordinating Conjunctions<\/h2>\n<p>\nLet\u2019s now look at subordinating conjunctions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Though<\/li>\n<li>Although<\/li>\n<li>As soon as<\/li>\n<li>When<\/li>\n<li>After<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using subordinating conjunctions to connect sentences or ideas forms a complex sentence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote a variety of plays. He wrote many poems.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>To connect these sentences, we\u2019ll use a subordinating conjunction from the list above.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Though Shakespeare wrote a variety of plays, he also wrote many poems.<\/span><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Conjunctive_Adverbs\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Conjunctive Adverbs<\/h2>\n<p>\nNow it\u2019s time to learn about conjunctive adverbs and adverbial phrases, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>However<\/li>\n<li>Likewise<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To connect ideas between two sentences without actually combining the sentences, a conjunctive adverb can be used. Let\u2019s try it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote many poems. He wrote a variety of plays including tragedies, comedies, and histories.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>We can use a conjunctive adverbial phrase to connect these sentences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Shakespeare wrote many poems. On the other hand, he also wrote a variety of plays including tragedies, comedies, and histories.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Even though these two sentences are independent of each other in the new form, the content of the sentences has been more smoothly connected by using the conjunctive adverbial phrase.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Why_You_Should_Connect_Sentences\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Why You Should Connect Sentences<\/h2>\n<p>\nAlright, we\u2019ve gone over the how, now let\u2019s look at the why behind connecting sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting sentences using any of the five previously mentioned techniques serves a few different purposes. For instance, connecting sentences adds stylistic variety to your writing. It also eliminates any choppy wording that would otherwise prevent readers from fully understanding a piece of text. Last, but not least, connecting sentences in a proper manner helps to enhance the overall flow of the work.<\/p>\n<p>However, be careful about changing the meaning of sentences when combining them. If combining the sentences will result in a different meaning, then it\u2019s better to just leave them separated or consider making adjustments to the sentences as a whole before combining them.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"citelist\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/blog\/connecting-sentences\/\"target=\"_blank\">\u201cHow to Connect Sentences.\u201d 2017<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishgrammar.org\/connect-sentences\/\"target=\"_blank\">\u201cHow to Connect Sentences?\u201d 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"home-buttons\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/writing\/\">Return to Writing Videos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Return to Writing Videos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":185828,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-16567","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"page_category-video-pages-for-study-course-sidebar-ad","7":"page_category-writing-videos","8":"page_type-video","9":"subject_matter-english"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Connecting sentences is an art but an essential part of writing well that you can only improve with practice.
