Sentence Connectors

There are two main types of sentence connectors: sequence connectors and logical connectors. Sequence connectors are used to join events in the order they occur, with common ones being first, next, then, and finally. Logical connectors are used to express relationships between ideas, such as while, as, because, since, although, and therefore. They can show reasons, results, comparisons, or conditions.
