A transition word is, I think, a word that links one sentence to another. Examples:
- however
therefore
nevertheless

What is?
I am a student. I live in Puerto Rico. My main language is Spanish. I am doing my English task and am confused.
What is a 'transition word'?
What is a 'linking sentence'?

Your English is, I think, quite good. It is easy to understand you.

I think with your second question you might be referring to dependent clause, which needs to be linked to another clause (independent clause) before it can have meaning. Originally Posted by [email protected]

Does that help?
