Transitions are words, phrases, or sentences that link one idea to another, showing the connections between them.

Transition words can show that a sentence adds to or builds on the previous one, talk about cause and effect, make contrasts or signal disagreement, or signpost your structure.

Every paragraph starts with a topic sentence, and more often than not, that sentence will also function as a transition.
