Connectives and cohesive features are essential tools in both writing and speaking that help to create a smooth and logical flow of ideas.

Connectives
Connectives, also known as linking words or transition words, are words or phrases that connect sentences and paragraphs. They signal the relationship between different parts of a text, making it easier for the reader or listener to follow the argument or narrative. Here are some common types of connectives:

Addition: and, also, furthermore, moreover

Contrast: but, however, on the other hand, nevertheless

Cause and Effect: because, therefore, thus, consequently

Sequence: first, next, then, finally
Example: for example, for instance, such as

Cohesive Features
Cohesive features are broader elements that contribute to the overall coherence and unity of a text. They include:

Pronouns: Using pronouns like he, she, it, they to refer back to previously mentioned nouns.

Repetition: Repeating key words or phrases to reinforce ideas.

Synonyms: Using different words with similar meanings to avoid repetition while maintaining the same idea.

Conjunctions: Words like and, but, or, so that join clauses within a sentence.

Ellipsis: Omitting parts of a sentence that are understood from the context.

Both connectives and cohesive features are crucial for making your writing and speaking clear, organized, and easy to understand.
