65.1 Linking adverbs

Sono il terzo tipo di connettivo. Non uniscono due frasi in una sola: collegano due frasi separate, e per questo la punteggiatura cambia.

IdeaAvverbi
contrastohowever, nevertheless, on the other hand
aggiuntamoreover, furthermore, in addition, besides
conseguenzatherefore, consequently, as a result
esempiofor example, for instance
riassuntoin conclusion, overall
  • It was expensive. However, we bought it.
  • The plan failed. Therefore, we need a new one.

La punteggiatura

Vogliono un punto o un punto e virgola prima, e una virgola dopo.

  • It was late; however, we stayed.
  • It was late. However, we stayed.

Attenzione

Non funzionano come but. Con la sola virgola la frase Γ¨ sbagliata:

  • It was late, but we stayed. βœ…
  • It was late. However, we stayed. βœ…
  • It was late, however we stayed. ❌

However ha anche un secondo significato, "per quanto", trattato nel capitolo sulle parole in -ever.
