How to Form Conjunctive Adverbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Conjunctive adverbs link two\u00a0main clauses. In this case, they function as coordinating conjunctions, joining two dependent clauses. It is important to note that in order to connect these two clauses, we use the following structure:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MAIN CLAUSE + ; + Conjunctive Adverb + , + MAIN CLAUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note the use of a semicolon instead of a comma after the first main clause in the following examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bad weather discouraged Tom to take his morning walk; moreover,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0he had many things to do that morning.<\/p>
They are not easily motivated with money; otherwise,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0they would have just kept the truth about the issue.<\/p>
She ate a whole bowl of soup; then,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to her mom\u2019s surprise, she finished two cups of rice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
- We also introduce, interrupt, or conclude one\u00a0main clause using conjunctive adverbs. In this case, we often use commas in order\u00a0to separate the conjunctive adverb from the other parts of the sentence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This month, the company was supposed to take us on a company retreat.\u00a0Instead,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0they were considering giving everyone a leadership training.<\/p>
He didn\u2019t want to keep seeing her anymore. He decided, nevertheless,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to take her out one last time.<\/p>
After surfing all afternoon, Matt was too tired to cook dinner. He did eat some leftovers, however<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
- In cases where the break is weak, there is no need to use a comma.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Sofia called to inform that she can\u2019t conduct her classes today. Stephanie will\u00a0therefore<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0have to fill in for her.<\/p>
The shrimp dish triggered her allergies. Going to that seafood restaurant was not a good idea\u00a0indeed<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
