Cause connectors
Summary of Cause–Effect Connectors
COORDINATING CONJUNCTION | CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTION | SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION | CONJUNCTIVE ADVERB / TRANSITION |
---|---|---|---|
A coordinating conjunction mostly occurs mid-sentence and joins two independent clauses. A comma is placed before the conjunction (for and, nor, but, or, yet, so). They may also occur at the beginning of a sentence . | A correlative conjunction is paired with another word and is used to join equivalent sentence elements such as one noun or noun-phrase with another noun or noun-phrase. | A subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause, which requires attachment to an independent clause to complete the rest of the thought. When the dependent clause occurs: (1) before the independent clause, a comma separates the clauses; (2) after the independent clause , no comma separates the clauses. | A transition word is used at the beginning of a sentence with a comma after it. It marks a change in thought from one sentence (or paragraph) to the next. A period or semicolon comes before it. |
