Conjunctive Adverbs
We swear that, despite their name, conjunctive adverbs are in no way related to tropical diseases.
Instead, they are very useful when writing, and there are many more of them than we often remember.
Conjunctive adverbs connect one thing to another in a descriptive way. For example: Everyone was raving about the puppy video; consequently, it went viral by the end of the day.
While "however" and "therefore" are perfectly useful, knowing alternative conjunctive adverbs comes in handy. We recommend you save the list somewhere or print it!
