Linking words (or connectors or conjunctions) join two parts of a sentence.
Take a look at these examples and then try this exercise:
| Conjunction | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
and
| joins two similar ideas together | He lives in London, and he studies at university. |
but
| joins two contrasting ideas | Tom is American, but Ana is Portuguese. |
or
| joins two alternative ideas | I could cook dinner, or we could go to a restaurant. |
so
| shows that the second idea is the result of the first | He was ill, so he went to the doctor. |
