Introduction
In the present work the group will address about our day-to-day themes, specifically
referring to connectors, or in productive skills in connectors. A quick study confirms
that almost all people use the connectors to improve their relationships at work, at
home, with friends, because through there we can explain to the next what happened or
what has just happened. What would take us the importance of this theme, let's see, it is
important because they can improve speech as writing when people use properly at the
right time the connectors.

Our work obeys the following organization, first define what connectors are, making
clear some conceptions of some authors, that is, there are several authors who wrote
something to how much connectors we seek to bring some to the discussion. Next times
the types of connectors that are accompanied by their explicit examples and some
consolidation exercises.
Definition in connectors on productive linguistic skill
Connectors are words expression that used to specify how relationship between
various linguistic segment of a text, (Michael A. k.1976). We use it to link sentences,
words or phases.

Is the words and phrases that people use to tell the listener what has just happened, and
what is going to happen next. In other words, signpost language guides the listener
through the presentation.

In academic writing, often, we will want to link the meaning of two sentences to allow
your writing to flow smoothly. Signposting words are sometimes used to begin
sentences so as to link the meaning in the second sentence to that of the previous one.
Other signposting words are used within a sentence rather than at the beginning.

Connector usage in the English

(Bengt, 1986), But we should not forget that connectors represent one small
aspect of cohesion. Although we need to teach their correct use, we should not do so to
the detriment of other Forms of cohesion. Furthermore, coherence should be the
primary discourse consideration: no matter how much students study connectors
or any other aspect of cohesion, an incoherent Message will always remain so.
However, increased mastery of cohesive devices will certainly help students to express
relations more clearly.

Linguistic Skill
(Aracil V, 1989), Linguist Skills measure the capacity of individually to
understand and express themselves‚ both in written and oral from, There are many
generation in Galicia that finished school before Galician that was established as a
compulsory subject and they therefore did not receive standardized classes in
Galician, we can thus think that the general linguistic skills of the population are
deficient‚ especially with regard to writing.
Advanced Grammar- an Introduction to sentence connectors
(Pritchard 1981), Sentence connectors are a great way of improving your
English because we use them to express relations ships between and to combine
sentence. When we begin learning a language we speak in very basic sentences a bit
like children We can use addition connectors went we want to add one phrase to
another or to give extra information obviously the most common of these is and while
the other emphasis written English.

Connectors in Productive Linguistic Skill

Connectors In productive linguistic skill are litter words and phrases that help you
connect sentences and paragraph;

They are used both in conversation and writing with the help of connectors your
essays automatically become more logical and strutted.

Conclusion
This study demonstrates some of the problems students face in using connectors in
discourse. However, much more research needs to be done before ideal teaching
methods and materials can be developed‚ task in Connectors are very important for
speaking and usual language without connectors we can have wing problems to
make since or make under doing what we want no explain.

We can conclude that the bad way in which people talk (do not properly use the
contectors) is not only the fact that people do not dedicate themselves, but also by the
fact that some authors produce incoherent documents. It does not matter if it is about
connectors more if the object of study does not have cohesion and coherence there will
be no advance.
