What is a "conjunctive adverb"?
A conjunctive adverb is a word that connects two independent clauses and shows the relationship between them, such as contrast, cause, or sequence. Common conjunctive adverbs include words like "however," "therefore," and "meanwhile." For example, in the sentence "He was tired; however, he continued working," the word "however" connects the two clauses and indicates a contrast. Conjunctive adverbs are important for improving the flow of sentences, helping to clarify how different ideas relate to each other, and ensuring the smooth transition of thoughts in writing or speech.
