Transition Words Grammar
Used to clarify how ideas relate, not used to fix run-ons.
Transition words connect two independent clauses
Semicolon+transition+comma
Ex: I was tired; however, I kept running.
Comma after the transition word
Therefore, we left the theater early.
Transition used mid-sentence.
The movie, however, was too long.
no matter placement, assume it’s at the start/signifies relationship with the sentence before it
Subordinating Conjunction Transition words
don’t need a semicolon before them
because, although, even though, while, since
Only use one transition word per category in a sentence
don’t use unnecessary transitions when the relationships already clear
Ex (incorrect): Since it was raining, therefore we stayed inside.
Transitions don’t fix run-ons
Cannot go after a comma or go between two independent clauses without fixing the run-on.
Ex (incorrect): I studied all night, however I failed the test.
Ex (correct): I studied all night; however, I failed the test.
or: I studied all night. However, I failed the test.
Subordinating Conjunctions
Only words that make a sentence incomplete/dependent (not any transition word)-usually cause & effect
