Connectors
3 types:
- coordinating conjunctions: connect two parallel grammatical structures (including independent clauses)
- sentence connectors: show how one sentence relates to another sentence
- subordinating conjunctions: connect a dependent clause or phrase to the main clause
4 meanings:
- additive (addition or emphasis)
- contrastive (contrast or concession)
- cause/effect (reason, result, or conditional)
- sequence
