connecting sentences: adverbs

You may also use an adverb to connect the ideas of two consecutive sentences. We call this kind of adverbs the adverbial adjunct.

E.g. I like ice-cream. However, Mary hates it.

Note that you should end the first sentence first before you start the second.

E.g. I like ice-cream. However, Mary hates it.

              Note the full stop

Instead of a full stop, you may use a semi-colon, after which the word starts with a small letter.

e.g.              I like ice cream. However, Mary hates it.

    I like ice cream; however, Mary hates it.

             Semi-colon and small letter “h”
