Conectors

Connectors of sequence

We use the connectors of sequence to order events .

The main function of connectors in English grammar is to join words or sentences of what you want to express.

The correct usage of connectors gives coherence to what you write or express orally. In addition to joining words, sentences or paragraphs, the sequence connectors are very helpful to organize your ideas when you want to tell someone what happened at a particular time in a logical sequence.
