LINKING WORDS
Linking Words are words or phrases that show the relationship between
paragraphs or sections of a text or speech.
Transitions provide greater cohesion by making it more explicit or signaling how
ideas relate to one another

prisons without charge or trial.

so we can do it better.

national dramatic art

Linking Words to Compare:

 However, the tropical lowlands is where illegal coca growing and cocaine refining is
concentrated.
 Meanwhile, the population remains very concerned about the fate of those in prison.
 On the contrary,those weapons endanger peace and stability.
 The region is relatively well off by comparison with the rest of the developing world.
 These figures are relatively low, compared to Africa or Southeast Asia.
 On the other hand, most people tend to trust their experience
 In contrast, nobody has dared to contest the truths they contain.
For example For instance

On this ocassion in this situation

Examples
Take the case of domestic violence, for
example.
To illustrate this concept, it is relevant to
invoke the classification of crimes by
order of conduct.

a miracle.
2.Consequently, health information is included in
this definition.
3.Concurrently, there was also an incursion by
troops into their territory.
PHRASES &
CLAUSES
Clauses and phrases are the building blocks
of sentences.
Every sentence must have at least one clause to
be considered grammatically correct.
Understanding how clauses and phrases work
will help you better understand sentence
structure.
Clauses
A clause is a subject and a predicate working together.
● Examples
I took the dog to the park.
The example has one subject, I, and one predicate, took. Since they are
working together to form a comprehensible sentence, this sentence has one
clause.
● I love learning, so I spend a lot of time reading.
This example has two predicates: love and spend. Since they are each
working together with separate subjects, this sentence has two clauses.
Phrases
A phrase is a group of words related to the subject, predicate, or
object.
● Phrases do not contain a subject and a predicate, or we
would call them clauses.
● Phrases provide additional information about subjects,
predicates, and / or objects, and understanding how they work
is helpful to building an analyzing sentences.
EXAMPLE OF PHRASES
● After working late into the
night, Jack fell asleep on his
desk.
●
The emboldened portion of the sentence
exemplifies the phrase.
● It provides additional information
about our subject, Jack, but the
sentence does not require this
information to be grammatically
complete.
● I left my keys inside of the
Whole Foods, my favorite
grocery store.
●
In this example sentence, the predicate
is left and the subject is I.
● On the other side of the
sentence we have a phrase that
provides additional information
about the object of the
sentence Whole Foods. Note that a
phrase can come at the beginning, middle,
or end of a sentence.
Giving advice in English.
Let’s look at some examples.
You should do more exercise.
You shouldn’t drink so much beer.
As you can see above, after ‘should’ we
use an infinitive without ‘to’.
Use a modal verb
There are two modal verbs we often use for giving advice: ‘should’ and ‘ought to’.
Both mean the same thing but work in slightly different ways.
● You ought to do more exercise.
You ought not to drink so much
beer.
● Unlike ‘should’, we always use ‘to’
in ‘ought to’ for giving advice.
Make it into a question
To make advice less direct, we can use a question to make the person we
are advising consider about the advice we are giving them.
● Why don’t you do some
more exercise?
● With the question ‘Why
don’t you…?’ we use an
infinitive without ‘to’.
● How about doing some
more exercise?
● When we use ‘How
about…?’ to make a
question, we use a
gerund after it.
Put yourself in the person’s position
● If someone is asking for
your advice, sometimes
it’s useful to imagine
yourself being in that
person’s position. This is
a good way to explain
your advice, too.
● If I were you, I would
do more exercise.
● Remember to use an
infinitive after ‘would’
and not ‘to’.
● To make this negative,
put ‘not’ after ‘would’
Make a suggestion
● A suggestion or recommendation
is another good way of giving
advice that isn’t to direct. You
can use the words ‘suggest’ or
‘recommend’ as in the example
below.
● I would suggest doing more
exercise.
I would recommend doing more
exercise.
● Use ‘verb+ing’ after
‘suggest’ or ‘recommend’
to explain your advice to the
listener.
● To make these negative, put
‘not’ before your ‘verb+ing’.
Advise in a stronger way
● Sometimes, you need to
make your advice stronger to
let the listener know that it’s
really important. We can use
the expression ‘you had
better…’ to do this.
● You had better do more
exercise before you start
getting fat.
● You had better not
drink so much beer or
you will get fat.
● We use an infinitive
after ‘better’ to explain
our advice and add ‘not’
after ‘better’ to make the
sentence negative.
