    About this ebook

    This book is designed for people who are learning English as a foreign language and wish to improve their use of English connectives (conjunctions). Connectives are useful because they join clauses, phrases and sentences together, helping readers and listeners to understand writers and speakers.

    This book contains 101 connectives that are frequently used in English, arranged alphabetically. Each connective is provided with two examples of its use. The examples are provided as answers to questions from the IELTS test, but the book can be used by any teenage or adult learner who is at intermediate level.

      About the Author

      Preface

      This book is designed for people who are learning English as a foreign language and wish to improve their use of English connectives (conjunctions). Connectives are useful because they join clauses, phrases and sentences together, helping readers and listeners to understand writers and speakers.

      This book contains 101 connectives that are frequently used in English, arranged alphabetically. Each connective is provided with two examples of its use. The examples are provided as answers to questions from the IELTS test, but the book can be used by any teenage or adult learner who is at intermediate level.

      1. Above all

      Use: saying that something is the most important

      Example 1: Why did you choose to study English?

      I chose it for several different reasons. I like learning foreign languages. I enjoy watching American TV shows. Above all, I think it will help me to get a good job in an international company.

      Example 2: Why do you think we should protect the environment?

      There are many reasons. I think we have a duty to protect animals and plants, but, above all, we should protect the environment for future generations.

      2. Accordingly

      Use: saying why something happened or was done

      Example 1: Why did you choose to study at that university?

      There were many good universities to choose from, but that was the only one in my home town. Accordingly, I decided to go there.

      Example 2: Why did you decide to follow that career?

      I have always wanted a job that involved international travel and paid a lot of money. I chose accordingly.

      3. After all

      Use: (1) giving a reason (2) saying what finally happened or was discovered

      Example 1: Why do you like playing basketball?

      It's a game that requires a lot of energy and helps me to stay healthy. After all, I think it is important to keep fit.

      Example 2: Do you think that what a person wears is important?

      Yes, I do. Clothes can help to create a favourable first impression. But we shouldn't only judge people by their clothes, as they may wear clothes we don't like but be great people after all.

      4. Afterwards

      Use: saying that one event happened after another

      Example 1: Do you think the Internet is a good way to meet new people?

      It can be. I met a new friend in a chat room. We sent each other messages for
