Transitional Devices: Oral Communication

Transitional devices are words or phrases that help connect one idea to the next when writing. They smooth the flow between sentences and paragraphs to avoid abrupt jumps. Examples of common transitional devices include "and," "moreover," "however," and words that indicate time, emphasis, comparison, exception, or sequence. Knowing how to use transitional devices helps create a cohesive, well-structured paper or presentation.
