What are the most commonly used connectors in English?

There are lots of connectors but at your level I would use the following, Therefore; Basically; On the other hand; Concerning; First of all; In General; For Instance; Typically; Despite are just a few.

Because (of), as, since, so, therefore (formal), to To show a contrasting viewpoint: But, although, though, in spite of, despite, however To add to your original point: Moreover, in addition, furthermore, also and too

"And" and "but" are the most common. Don't forget "so". Whilst these are key to writing longer and more complex sentences, please regard this as a journey, not a destination!

These are: *And - to connect 2 similar ideas. I am an American Accent Trainer and I also provide lessons for English speaking practice. *Or - to choose one of two choices, or take one as a replacement of the other. You can choose to stay here for the summer break or you could go with us for a trip to Philippines. *But - when one part is the opposite of the other. There are many native English teachers but I chose a non-native who speaks like a native.

Connectors are divided to simple ( conjunctions) & complex. Examples include and, but, or, later, as, too, because. Complex connectors are like however, therefore, although, unless, subsequently, additionally, otherwise.

Hi Elliot, Hope you are well. Some examples of connectors are 'and', 'but', ' because', 'however', 'nevertheless'.

Hey Elliot, I always used the acronym FANBOYS to teach conjunctions (that you call connectors or 'linking' words. FANBOYS stands for:- for and nor but or yet so Hope that helps!

FANBOYS are co-ordinating connectives; there is also an acronym for subordinating connectives, (where the part linked to the main part of the sentence or phrase is dependent upon it). The acronym is 'I SAW A WABUB!' It's is a fun acronym to help you to remember some of the main ones: if, since, as, when, although, while, after, before, until and because).

At a B1 level (intermediate), you'll focus on mastering a core set of connectors that will help you communicate effectively in everyday situations. Here are some of the most important ones: Coordinating Conjunctions: Basic: and, but, or - These are the workhorses for joining ideas. "I like coffee and tea, but I prefer coffee in the morning." Subordinating Conjunctions: Cause and Effect: because, since - Explain why something happens. "I'm late because the bus was delayed. Since you're here, do you want some tea?" Time: when, after, before - Show the order of events. "When I finish work, I'll call you. We can go shopping after lunch. I need to buy milk before the store closes." Contrast: but, although - Show a difference between ideas. "The movie was funny, but the ending was confusing. Although I was tired, I enjoyed the concert." Other Connectors: Sequencing: then, next - Guide the listener/reader through a series of steps. "First, preheat the oven. Then, add the ingredients and mix well." Addition: also, too - Add extra information. "I'm learning English. Also, I'm interested in French culture. She speaks English well, too." Tips for B1 Learners: Focus on mastering these core connectors first. Practice using them in your writing and speaking. Pay attention to how native speakers use connectors in everyday conversations and written materials. Gradually expand your vocabulary of connectors as you become more comfortable with these core ones. By focusing on these key connectors, you'll be well on your way to clear and effective communication at a B1 level!
