What are linking words?

• Linking words are words that are used to connect sentences/paragraphs.

• They help make sentences easier to understand.

• They can show us when things happen, why they happen, or how they are related to each other.

  • For example, words like "first," "next," and "then" show you the order of events, while words like "because" and "so" explain why something happened.

• Then = Dan/Vervolgens

• Yet = Toch

• After = Na/Daarna

• Also = Ook
