What are linking words?

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.

Using 'and'

You can use 'and' to connect two independent clauses when the clauses are related.

Give examples of using 'and' to connect two related independent clauses.

Using 'but'

You can use 'but' to connect two independent clauses when the clauses contrast each other.

Give examples of using 'but' to connect two contrasting independent clauses.
