    Using Transitions

    Body paragraphs shouldbe organized in such a way that each sentence relates to the other sentences. Using transition words and phrases helps the reader clearly un-
    derstand how one sentence relates to the other. Transitions also help the reader make the connection from one paragraph to the next. As a result, transition words and
    phrases keep the writing smooth and give it continuity.
    Transition words and phrases for use in different parts of your essay are listed below. Note that some are repeated; they are appropriate for use in more than one part of
    your essay.
