What it is: Cohesion means your ideas are linked. Connectors show how: adding, contrasting, giving a reason or a result.
| Job | Connectors | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Add | además, también, incluso | Es barato; además, es rápido. |
| Contrast | sin embargo, aunque, en cambio | Es caro; sin embargo, vale la pena. |
| Reason | porque, ya que, como | Como llovía, no salimos. |
| Result | por eso, por lo tanto, así que | Estudié mucho; por eso aprobé. |
| Example | por ejemplo, es decir | Hago deporte, por ejemplo, natación. |
| Order | en primer lugar, luego, por último | En primer lugar, quiero darte las gracias. |
| Conclude | en conclusión, en resumen | En resumen, merece la pena. |
Remember: Use a different connector for each link. Five y in a row reads like a list.
