PDF - Linking Words
Linking words are words or phrases that help you connect ideas and sentences.
Some examples of linking words are: and, but, because, so.
AND:
BUT:
The sentences express opposite ideas: one in affirmative and the other in negative; it
means opposite ideas, right?
So, we use "BUT" to join two opposite ideas together.
Now listen: I want to visit Cusco, but I don't have any money.
So, in this example, we use because to express the reason for not doing the presentation.
SO:
Now listen: She didn't study, SO she didn't pass the exam.
Using SO shows that the second idea is the result of the first.
That's it! Remember to continue practicing the correct use of the linking words: and, but,
because and so.
