ADDITIVE CONNECTORS

Additive connectors can be grouped into four grammatical classes, as shown in the box below.

Sentence connectors commonly occur at the beginning of a sentence, are physically separated by a comma to mark their special role, and show the relationship between that sentence and previous sentences.
Prepositions combine only with noun phrases and gerunds (-ing) forms to link the current sentence with earlier ideas.
The category 'other linkers' includes adverbs, co-ordinate conjunctions, and non-finite clauses that function to join ideas within a single sentence.
Special adjectives indicate that another example of something mentioned earlier is about to follow.
