Linking words (connecting words) are something we need to know in any style of writing, because it helps the reader to follow the flow of what you are saying. Whether it’s an argument in an essay, or an epic scene in a fantasy novel, your reader needs to be able to follow what you are saying.
                                                        1. Linking words are used to show relationships between ideas. They can be used to join 2 or more sentences or clauses (a clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a verb). Linking words can be used to add ideas together, contrast them, or show the reason for something.
