We already know what conjunctions and adverbs are!

Remember FANBOYS? Adverbs are like adjectives but instead they describe verbs!

Now take a guess at what these 2 words combined could mean?????

Conjunctive adverbs are words that describe a relationship between two clauses.

They act as transitional phrases and connect ideas of one sentence or clause to those of a previous sentence or clause.

Conjunctive adverbs can appear anywhere in a sentence.

Thankfully we already learned about clauses!

Show Relationship - The primary purpose of conjunctive adverbs is to connect ideas by showing a time relationship.

  When two clauses are related by a

conjunctive adverb, they must be separated by a period or a semicolon.

We will use conjunctive adverbs to show time relationships in our

narrative writing
