i need help with transitional phrases please help :!:
Hi,
Here is a list of helpful transitional words and phrases:
TO ADD, TO SHOW SEQUENCE:
also, and, then, besides, equally important, finally, first, further, furthermore, in addition, in the first place, last, moreover, next, second
TO COMPARE:
in the same way, likewise, similarly
To CONTRAST:
although, and yet, but, but at the same time, despite, even so, even though, however, in contrast, in spite of, nevertheless, on the contrary, on the other hand, regardless, still, though, yet
TO GIVE EXAMPLES and INTENSIFY:
after all, an illustration of, for example, for instance, indeed, in fact, specifically, to illustrate
To REPEAT, SUMMARIZE, or CONCLUDE:
all in all, altogether, in brief, in conclusion, in other words, in particular, in short, in simpler terms, in summary, on the whole, therefore
TO SHOW CAUSE or EFFECT
accordingly, as a result, because, consequently, for this purpose, hence, otherwise, therefore, thus
There are many others, but I am not even sure if that is what you are looking for. Let me know.

That's quite a list. (I think I use "indeed" a lot.)
It's certainly enough to be going on with. ;-)
