Transitional words and phrases show the relationships between the parts
of a sentence, between the sentences in a paragraph, or between the
paragraphs in a longer piece of writing (i.e., an essay, short story, novel,

mean little by themselves, they are very important in linking your ideas
together smoothly and logically so that your paragraphs have coherence.
Transitional words and phrases can be divided into categories according
to the kind of relationship you as a writer are trying to show.
