10 Types of Transitions

  Writing is simply a matter of expressing ideas, but as we all know, it’s not so simple after all. One challenge is to coherently connect those ideas. This post lists ten categories of words and phrases one can employ to signal a transition, with several examples for each type. These words and phrases can be used within a sentence as well as at the beginning. Note, too, that many can apply to more than one category. (These groupings are arbitrary, created for the sake of presentation; transitional terms can be organized in various ways.) 1. Addition “Also, I have to stop at the store on the way home.” “Besides, it would give me great satisfaction to help you.” “First, I’d like to thank you for inviting me to speak tonight.” 2. Comparison “In the same way, the author foreshadows a conflict between two minor characters.” “Likewise, the sequel was very successful.” “Similarly, we observed no differences in response rate.” 3. Concession “Granted, you did not ask ahead of time.” “Natur...

Transitions

  What this handout is about In this crazy, mixed-up world of ours, transitions glue our ideas and our essays together. This handout will introduce you to some useful transitional expressions and help you employ them effectively. The function and importance of transitions In both academic writing and professional writing, your goal is to convey information clearly and concisely, if not to convert the reader to your way of thinking. Transitions help you to achieve these goals by establishing logical connections between sentences, paragraphs, and sections of your papers. In other words, transitions tell readers what to do with the information you present to them. Whether single words, quick phrases, or full sentences, they function as signs that tell readers how to think about, organize, and react to old and new ideas as they read through what you have written. Transitions signal relationships between ideas—relationships such as: “Another example coming up—stay alert!” or “Here’s an ...

Future Participles

Future participles indicate an imminent action or an action which is going to happen some time in the future. Their form is as follows: [masculine singular oblique form of an infinitive|form of वाला] For instance: जानेवाले लोग (“the people who are about to go”) The suffix may be adjoined or separated from the masculine singular oblique form of the infinitive: जाने वाले Like other participles, future participles may be used attributively: दिल्ली जाने वाले लोग वहां खड़े हुए हैं – “The people who are about to go to Delhi are standing over there” They may also be used predicatively: हम दिल्ली जानेवाले हैं – “We are about to go to Delhi” The predicate use of future participles may be viewed as a finite verbal usage. In other words, the form [masculine singular oblique infinitive|वाला] [form of होना] can be viewed as a kind of future verb form, often implying imminent action: मैं कुछ तो बोलने वाली थी – “I was going to say something”

Conjunctive Participles

As the name implies, “conjunctive participles” may be used to conjoin two verb phrases, in a manner similar to conjunctions such as और (“and”). If the same subject performs two sequential actions, the first action may be expressed with a conjunctive participle. Conjunctive participles are very common in Hindi, and many speakers prefer to use them versus conjunctions. Form of Conjunctive Participles Conjunctive participles are formed simply by adding the suffix कर or के to the verb stem: जाना, जा + के = जाके पढ़ना, पढ़ + के = पढ़के लेना, ले + के = लेके सुनना, सुन + कर = सुनकर पहुँचना, पहुँच + कर = पहुँचकर कर and के may be used interchangeably. However, in common spoken and written Hindi, के is much more common. कर may be used in more formal writing. For the verb करना, however, the only possible form is करके; करकर is not correct. In colloquial Hindi, the conjunctive participle करके may be used with the verb stem to form a periphrastic conjunctive participle: वह खाना खा करके जायेगा – “He ...
