What are conjunctive adverbs and how do we make sentences with them?

Conjunctive adverbs are words that connect ideas or sentences. They show relationships like cause and effect, contrast, or addition. Examples include “however,” “therefore,” “meanwhile,” and “also.” To use them in sentences, place the conjunctive adverb between two independent clauses, separated by a semicolon or a period. For example, “I wanted to go to the park; however, it started to rain.” Conjunctive adverbs can also begin a sentence, followed by a comma. For example, “Therefore, we decided to stay inside.” These words help make writing clearer and show how ideas are linked. Be careful with punctuation when using them, as a semicolon is often needed before the adverb. Overall, conjunctive adverbs add variety and smooth transitions between different thoughts in a sentence or paragraph.
