hello are you there ? this is Marc I have
a new lesson for you! my uncle to tell
the truth help me understand italian
however i try so hard i wasn't able to
catch on quickly since i was in a good
student he decided to give up initially
he was so excited to teach me but then he
renounced in this lesson we're going to
look at transition words so stay tuned
right we're going to talk about
transition words but what are transition
words ? they are words or phrases that
connect part of a sentence to another
part of a sentence they can be divided
into four groups additives adversative
casual and sequential here I listed
examples of additives and adversities so
let's take a look at the first examples
the additive can be divided into six
subgroups the first one is addition and
here i wrote my first introductory
example my uncle to tell the truth
helped me understand italian so to tell
the truth here is inserted in the
sentence and we can even replace it with
other addition transition words like
indeed further as well as moreover they
add information to the sentence now the
second one is introduction here
obviously they give you the
transition words would give you an
introduction to a topic or a sentence
let's look at my example
I like desserts for example ice cream so
for example here is the transition word
and is an introduction that you give so
you can even replace it with such as
like especially etc the third subgroup
of the additive group reference so
considering his comments he probably
didn't think about his role considering
we can replace it with as for the fact
that with regard to etc these are all
examples of reference now the fourth
subgroup similarity likewise she was
anxious to leave the city likewise here
is like equally or in a like manner etc
so these are all types of similarity
transition words now for the last two I
can give you an example because of space
so I'm going to just give you some of
them identification so we use thus or
namely for identification clarification
that is I mean these are all transition
phrases in this case that you can use in
your sentence now the second group that
I have here is adversity and adversity
has five subgroups conflict emphasis
confession dismissal and replacement so
an example of a conflict transition
word could be however in this case
however is the transition word I try so
hard I wasn't able to catch on quickly
so however can even we can say while or
whereas and a conflict
transition word would be also but or
yet now the second subgroup is
emphasis and here I have the sentence
above all above all he made me watch Italian
movies without subtitles in
English so above all here could be
besides or indeed these are words that
you can use to add emphasis to your
sentence then concession I didn't
give you an example but I have some
words that you can use so some
transition words despite regardless albeit
dismissal I have an example here
for dismissal at any rate it was none
of her business at any rate here is a
transition phrase and we can even use
either way in any case etc and the last
subgroup is the replacement and I didn't
list an example so we have the
transition phrase or rather or the
transition word instead there are many
others I don't have room for them okay
so let's take a look at the third and
the fourth group now are you ready for
the second part ? great I said that
transition words are words or phrases
that connect part of the sentence to
another so they can be additive
adversative casual or sequential in this
part we're going to look at casual and
sequential so the third group is the
casual one and I sub-divided it into
five others so we have casual-effect
condition effect and result purpose
and consequence so the first is an
example of a cause and effect since I
wasn't a good student he decided to give
up this is my uncle
so since can be replaced with as
for due to seeing that etc these are all
examples of transition words for cause
and effect now I don't have an example
for condition but you can use if unless
etc for the condition part of a
transition word and actually why don't you
write your own example under this video
purpose purpose yes I have an example
for purpose he wouldn't let himself near
you in order to protect you so in order
here is a transition phrase and you can
replace it with so as to so that for
fear that etc and consequence I have an
example for consequence and then he
decided to leave then here is the
transition word you can replace it with
if so if not otherwise etc these are all
transition words or phrases for the
casual part of the transition word groups
now let's look at the fourth and last
group sequential and here we have six
subgroups numerical continuation
conclusion digression resumption and
summation so the first is an examples of
numerical so initially he was so excited
to teach me but then he renounced this
is my example of my uncle so we can even
say at first first of all secondly etc
continuation I don't have an example of
continuation you have to forgive me so
we go on with conclusion somehow both of
them eventually decided to move
to Canada here I wrote two transition
words somehow which is a resumption word
transition word and you can replace it
with anyhow anyway to resume at any rate
and eventually eventually is a
conclusion transition word so you can
replace it with afterwards previously
then etc then we have a digression I
don't have an example for you for
digression so I expect you write your
example under the video obviously and
the last one I do have an example
summation in brief we have concluded
this lesson and here I can replace in
brief with all in all over all in
summary briefly etc now let's recap in this
lesson we looked at transition words
what are they ? they are words or phrases
that connect a part of the sentence to
another part there are four groups
additive adversative casual and
sequential these groups can actually be
split into other groups I suggest
watching the lesson again if you haven't
understood them so that's it for today
you people thank you very much for all
your comments and your suggestions and
your examples don't forget to share my
video is really really important to me I
wish you a great day and I see you next
with a new lesson take care bye bye
