LINKING WORDS
i.
Linking words are also called connecting words
ii.
Linking words are something that can really help our fluency in
English, as they help us to create longer sentences
For example
a) I bought a dog
b) I bought a dog because I really
wanted a pet
c) I bought a dog because I really
wanted a pet. However, now I
wish I hadn’t!
Second definition of linking words
• A Linking verb connects the subject with a
word that gives information about the
subject, such as a condition or
relationship. They do not show any action;
but, they link the subject with the rest of
the sentence.
For example
1. “They are a problem.”
 The word “are” is the linking word
that
connects “they” and “problem” to
show the relationship between the
two words.
Linking words examples
 YAQOOT is excited about her
promotion
 The eggs smell rotten
 Sometimes, boys act foolish
• Some linking words come in
the middle of the sentences
 Because
 And
 So
 But
 Until
 Then
Etc……..
Whereas some linking words
join two sentences and often
start with capital letter:
 However
 Therefore
 In conclusion
 To summarise.
