What are connectives?

Connectives or connective words are words or phrases that link senteces or clauses together. Connectives can be
conjunctions, prepositions, or adverbs and are used frequently both in spoken and weitten English. Connectives
are functional words that help a writer link their words together. they serve as the glue of the sentence as they
help words to flow and lead on from ane to anther withourt sounding awkward or unclear. Without connectives,
a written sentence or spoken sentence wouldn°t make very much sense. Using connectives strengthens writing
skills.

Connectives fall into three categories:

 Conjunctions-link words and phrases together. For example: when, before, while, so, because, since,
where, later, unless, until, yet, once, that, if

 Propositions- describe location, plance, and time. For example: before, after, in above, below, under,
though, on, beside

 Adverbs-modify verbs, adjectives, and clauses. For example: then next, soon, always, yesterday, here,
eventually, later, now, frequently, therefore
 Types of connective words
Connectives link sentences, phrases, and ideas in your writing to guide a reader through a written piece.

¿cómo se usan los conectores en inglés?

Para usar correctamente los conectores en inglés, debemos tener en cuenta ciertas reglas.

por ejemplo, muchos estudiantes se preguntan sobre la posición correcta de donde poner conectores dentro de
una frase, cosa que puede ser tanto al inicio, final o entre dos ideas, pero todo depende del escritor, aunque es
bien sabido que algunos conectores irían al inicio de cada idea como al caso de fristly (en primer lugar).

Otra regla general del uso de los conectores en inglés es que después de los conectores en inglés es que después
del uso de una de estas palabras de enlaces se usa un gerundio, infinitivos o sustantivos.
