Transitions

 

Transitions connect sentences and paragraphs for your reader These words add flow and order to your paragraphs, essays, and reports. In addition, it is an important part of the trait of organization.  Although your ideas may be detailed, you need to create clear connections between and among ideas for your reader. Therefore, practice using transition words in all your writing in every subject.
