Signaling is an effective technique that removes choppiness from your writing to make it fluent. It\u2019s crucial that all your paragraphs end in a manner that the next paragraph doesn\u2019t appear to be out-of-place.<\/p>\n
Whenever a paragraph is disconnected from the preceding one, it gets difficult for the reader to understand the message you intend to convey. Each time your writing is unclear, the reader will either end up misunderstanding or deciding not to read further \u2013 both are undesirable outcomes.<\/p>\n
Correctly signaled sentences keep the reader engaged & ensure they read till the end. The reader does not ever get confused by non-sequiturs or thrown off the track by fillers. Below are certain structures you can utilize to signal sentence flow:<\/p>\n
Connectives such as coordinating and subordinating conjunctions link phrases and sentences.<\/p>\n
Examples: And, but, nor, for, so, yet, so that, after, before, although, unless, whenever, insofar as, since, because, why<\/p>\n
Utilizing a word that comes at the end of the 1st sentence at the start of the 2nd\u00a0sentence<\/p>\n
A dependent clause that starts with a relative pronoun (whose, who, whom, which or that,) or an adverb (why, when, or where)<\/p>\n
Pronouns such as \u201cthis\u201d, \u201cthat\u201d, \u201cthese\u201d, and \u201cthose\u201d help build cohesion between sentences.<\/p>\n
Examples: that, these, this<\/p>\n
