Logical connectors are used to join or connect two ideas that have a particular relationship.

These relationships can be: sequential (time), reason and purpose, adversative

(opposition and/or unexpected result), condition .

Within each category, the words used to join the ideas or clauses are used differently, with

different grammar and punctuation.

Subordinatingconjunctions

Introduce adverb clauses

Either the dependent clause or theindependent clause may come first inthe sentence, with no change inmeaning

ex: Before he came, we didn't have a physical education teacher.

We didn't have a physical education teacher before he came.

Prepositions Is followed by a noun or noun phrase

Either clause may appear first

ex: He didn't come to class due to his illness.

Transitions andConjunctive adverbs

THE EASIER WAY TO LEARN THECONNECTORS IS TO WRITE EVERY THING

YOU WANT, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS NEED TOCONNECT THE IDEAS AND IF YOU KNOW THEMEANING OF THEM YOU CAN COMMUNICATE

WITHOUT PROBLEMS

The evaluation of this guide will be in an oral and

written form taking into account the information

given in the guide.

I hope this guide helps you to differentiate this

kind of adverbs to the others. The well handle of

them provides you a good use of the English

grammar.
