*Why Should I care about Conjunctive Adverbs?

Here's an example we've given you.

I understand you. However, I don’t agree with you.
She makes me laugh. Therefore, she can stay.

It can be seen that the first independent clause ends
with a full stop (.) and start with a capital letter. And
put a comma after conjunctive adverb

You can also use a semicolon (;) before a conjunctive adverb

I understand you; However, I don’t agree with you.
She makes me laugh; Therefore, she can stay.

But you can’t use a comma (,) before a conjunctive adverb

I understand you, However, I don’t agree with you.
She makes me laugh, Therefore, she can stay.

This would be wrong NOT A COMMA




6

Note : A conjunctive adverb bridging two sentences or
independent clauses is followed by a comma but cannot
put before it.

But you can put 2 things before a conjunctive
adverb that is full stop (.) and semicolon (;)

Key Points


Use a conjunctive adverb at the start of a sentence to

provide the transition from one idea to the next.
If you want a really smooth transition, you should use a
semicolon before the conjunctive adverb.
Don't use a comma before a conjunctive adverb.
