This document discusses different types of connectives that can be used when writing sentences: adding connectives to join agreeing ideas, sequencing connectives to list ideas in order, emphasizing connectives to stress an important point, comparing connectives to show similarities, cause and effect connectives to explain one idea with another, qualifying connectives to condition one idea on another, illustrating connectives to provide examples, and contrasting connectives to show opposing ideas. Examples are provided for each type of connective.

Adding Connectives: These are used when you want to add ideas together that agree with each other or are about the same thing. No: I like cheese. I like sausages. Yes: I like cheese, I also like sausages.
Sequencing Connectives These are used when you want to list ideas in a certain order. No: I cut the cheese. I cooked sausages. Yes: I cut the cheese, finally I cooked the sausages.
Emphasising Connectives These are used when you want to stress a point as being very important. No: I like cheese. I really like cheddar. Yes: I like cheese, in particular, cheddar.
Comparing Connectives These are used when you want to compare ideas that are similar or the same as each other. No: I like cheese. I like sausages. Yes: I like cheese, equally I like sausages.
Cause and Effect Connectives These are used when you want the second part of your sentence to help explain the first part. The second part happens as a result of the first. No: I like cheese. I ate the cheese. Yes: I like cheese, therefore I ate the cheese!
Qualifying Connectives These are used when the first idea in your sentence relies on the second part happening. No: I¡¯ll cut the cheese. You get the knife. Yes: I¡¯ll cut cheese, as long as you get the knife.
Illustrating Connectives These are used when you want to give an example to back up the first part of your sentence. No: I like cheese. I like cheddar and Red Leicester. Yes: I like cheese, such as Cheddar and Red Leicester!
Contrasting Connectives These are used when you have two ideas in your sentence that do not agree with each other. No: I like cheese. I do not like tomatoes. Yes: I like cheese, on the other hand, I do not like tomatoes.
