Grammar: Linking words

Linking words are words that are used to connect sentences/paragraphs.

They help make sentences easier to understand.

They can show us when things happen, why they happen, or how they are related to each other.

• For example, words like "first," "next," and "then" show you the order of events, while words like "because" and "so" explain why something happened.

For example = Bijvoorbeeld

Further/Furthermore = Verder

However = Echter

Like = Zoals

So = Dus

Then = Dan/Vervolgens

Yet = Toch

After = Na/Daarna

Also = Ook

And = En

Because = Omdat

Before = Voordat

But = Maar

First = Eerst
