- Match the connector to the strength of the relationship: Use stronger connectors like “hence” or “consequently” for direct cause-effect relationships, and weaker ones like “in turn” for more indirect consequences.
- Clarify the cause and effect: Be clear about what causes what. Misuse of these connectors can confuse the reader if the cause-effect relationship is ambiguous.
- Avoid redundancy: Be careful not to repeat the same connectors in the same paragraph. Using a variety of connectors will make your writing more dynamic and engaging.
