    Coherence - noun
    Systematic or logical
    connection or consistency
    Example:
    The essay as a whole
    lacks coherence.
    Coherent writing means
    that the sentences, ideas,
    and details included blend
    so smoothly that the
    readers will have an easy
    time following what the
    writer wants to put across.
    In order to achieve
    this, the writer must
    use devices that will
    help his delivery of
    thoughts. Study the
    following cohesive
    devices.
    oherent – adj.
    marked by an orderly,
    logical, and aesthetically
    consistent relation of
    parts
    oherent – adj.
    capable of thinking and
    expressing yourself in a
    clear and consistent
    manner

    In this lesson you will
    see some examples and
    learn some tips for
    making your writing
    coherent between
    words, sentences and
    Parallel
    Structure
    using similar
    grammatical
    constructions between
    words in sentences
    if one verb on the list
    takes on ing- gerund
    form like running so the
    other verb on the list
    should also be in the
    gerund form
    Example no. 1
    Sarah likes to jump,
    running, and skate
    Example no. 2
    Sarah like jumping,
    running, and skating
    Repetition of a Key
    Term or Phrase
    This helps to focus
    your ideas and to keep
    your reader on track.
    Example: The problem with
    contemporary art is that it is not
    easily understood by most
    people. Contemporary art is
    deliberately abstract, and that
    means it leaves the viewer
    wondering what she is looking at.
    Example: The most important
    part of an essay is the thesis
    statement. The thesis statement
    introduces the argument of the
    essay. The thesis statement
    also helps to create a structure
    for the essay.
    Synonyms:
    Synonyms are words that
    have essentially the same
    meaning, and they provide
    some variety in your word
    choices, helping the reader
    to stay focused on the idea
    being discussed.
    Example: Myths narrate
    sacred histories and explain
    sacred origins. These
    traditional narratives are, in
    short, a set of believes that are
    very real force un the lives of
    the people who tell them.
    Pronouns
    This, that, these, those, he,
    she, it, they, and we are
    useful pronouns for referring
    back to something
    previously mentioned. Be
    sure, however, that what you
    are referring to is clear.
    Example: When scientific
    experiments do not work out as
    expected, they are often
    considered failures until some
    other scientist try them again.
    Those that work out better the
    second time around are the ones
    that promise the most rewards.
    Transitional
    Words
    There are many words in
    English that cue our
    readers to relationships
    between sentences,
    joining sentences
    together.
    Transitional
    Words
    Examples of transitional
    words are however,
    therefore, in addition,
    also, but, moreover,
    again, besides, and then,
    Transitional
    Words
    in addition to, compared
    with, in comparison with,
    similarly, again, likewise,
    nevertheless, instead,
    granted, certainly,
    Transitional
    Words
    it maybe the case, on
    the contrary, after,
    before, during….
    Example: When scientific
    experiments do not work out
    as experiments do not work
    out as expected, they are
    often considered failures
    until some other scientist try
    them again.
