new lesson
your knowledge and understanding by discovering what the topic is all about.
Study the given sentences below.

equally.
While in sentence number two, the transition signal ‘but’ introduces the opposite ideas.

paragraphs for coherence. They also indicate building up new idea or thought or
compare
ideas or draw conclusions.
Transition signals are of different types and each type helps to make certain
connections.
