…many people believe that transitions only happen at the beginning of paragraphs in order to connect their different ideas. That is not true. Transitions should actually happen within paragraphs to move slowly from topics and segments before introducing new ones.

Transitional words and phrases can create powerful links between ideas in your writing and can help your reader understand the logic you are hoping to convey.

However, these transitional words all have different meanings, nuances, and connotations.

Before using a particular transitional word in your paper, be sure you understand its meaning and usage completely and be sure that it’s the right match for the logic in your paper.
