•Linking adverbs are adverbs

same sort of function as

• Linking adverbs are nothing but
connectors, transition words, linking
words. They're also called as
conjunctive adverbs.
• Unlike conjunctions they can be
positioned or placed anywhere in the
sentence.
• They're used to connect independent
clauses or sentences, to show transition
of ideas or sometimes become the
linking words between 2 sentences,
ideas etc.

• See if the example below gives a better
understanding.
• I was wearing my raincoat but still I got
wet. But is the conjunction.
• I was wearing my raincoat however I was
completely drenched.However is the linking
adverb/ conjunctive
adverb/connector/transition word etc etc.

Worksheet 1
• I was delighted with what I had seen there. The dancers had moved
beautifully. I was totally amazed at how elegantly they had
performed. Surely, there can’t have ever been such remarkably
brilliant dancers here. I decided I would see them again tomorrow.
Fortunately, I would be free and I was glad I could see them again
soon. My free time went horribly fast. I had to quickly make the
most of it. Sadly, I didn’t have as much spare time as I would have
liked. My holiday was almost over. I said to myself that I would
definitely spend the time happily watching the completely amazing
performers again. I was quite sure it would be time well spent. It was
almost a programmed decision.

It is a very long novel, however, and consequently takes

language used is quite complex. So, I’m not sure everybody
will feel they want to give it the time and effort. Also, some of
the themes were political so not everyone who reads it is
going to like the political points the writer makes. In other
words, some people will agree with the writer’s politics and
