Linking Language

Worksheet Description

This worksheet challenges students to construct sentences using specific conjunctive adverbs, such as “likewise,” “indeed,” and “now.” By providing a list of these adverbs, the worksheet guides students to think carefully about how each one can be used to connect ideas smoothly in a sentence. It offers a clear example at the beginning, demonstrating how a conjunctive adverb can link two related thoughts with appropriate punctuation. The exercise is structured to encourage students to explore the different ways these adverbs can enhance the meaning and flow of their writing. Completing this activity helps students practice integrating conjunctive adverbs naturally into their sentences.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to use conjunctive adverbs to create more cohesive and polished sentences. It focuses on helping students understand the role of these adverbs in linking ideas and improving the overall clarity of their writing. By using each provided adverb in a sentence, students learn to make deliberate choices in their word usage, which strengthens their ability to convey complex ideas effectively. The exercise also reinforces the correct punctuation required when using conjunctive adverbs, an essential aspect of writing that can often be overlooked. This worksheet aims to build confidence in students’ writing skills by encouraging them to experiment with different adverbs and observe the impact on sentence structure.
