Slide 1 - Slide

What are linking words?

Slide 2 - Slide

definition
Linking words are sometimes called linking phrases (they can be made up of more than one word), connectors or even linkers.

In short, they connect ideas together. We use them in both writing and speaking, but they are most important in writing because they provide structure to your paragraphs.
Linking words can connect two parts of one sentence. They go at the beginning of a sentence or in between the two parts.
