What are CONNECTORS of CONSEQUENCE

The words or groups of words that serve as union for the expression of different ideas within a sentence are the connectors. Within the Spanish Language we can find different types of these connectors, each with its own particularities, for this reason in this lesson from a PROFESSOR we want to show you what are consequence connectors, what words form them and some examples so that you can learn to identify and use them correctly.

First of all, we must focus on what are connectors. These as their name suggests are used for make joins between different premises of a sentence. Depending on the intention of the issuer, its function will be one or the other. The connectors, therefore, clearly mark what relationship exists between the different premises that make up the message that is being transmitted so that it correctly reaches the receiver.

Its use is necessary when providing the text with the coherence that you need and can be used in both written and oral messages to make the statement more understandable. Therefore, it is essential to have elements such as connectors that are capable of

establish relationships between different ideas that are expressed in the message.

Now, within the connectors we can find Different types, such as the connectors of opposition or of continuity, as well as those that interest us in the lesson we are dealing with: consequence connectors.

What are consequence connectors

Knowing that connectors are words or groups of words that serve to unite different ideas or premises in a sentence or text, we can go on to define what are the connectors of consequence.

Consequence connectors, therefore, can be words or groups of words whose purpose is to unite different premises within a text. In the case of consequences, it is sought establish a relationship between different ideas with the aim of making them more understandable when they appear in a text.

On the other hand, its name is derived from the fact that the function they fulfill is to make a union or connection between different phrases that introduce an effect or consequence on ideas that have been expressed above. That is, the issuer establishes a main idea in his speech and these connectors of consequence are responsible for introducing a relationship that marks an effect on the first.

Thus, the consequence connectors indicate what are the reasons or causes that have led to what is happening and that is expressed by the issuer of the text.

Once we have defined what the consequence connectors are, we can move on to the next step, which is none other than showing some of the words or groups of words that are normally used in Spanish to fulfill the functions specified above. These, as we have indicated in the previous paragraphs, can appear both in written texts and in oral speeches. Here are some of the most used consequence connectors:

• Due
• To end
• So
• So
• As a consequence of
• As a result of

• For
• Therefore
• For example
• So
• For this reason
• Therefore or therefore
• Because

• Since
• so much that
• As

As you have seen, the list of consequence connectors is very broad and will allow us multitude of possibilities when writing a text or structuring a speech oral. Their use is necessary in any field, since they help to greatly improve understanding and show more clearly the ideas that the issuer wants to highlight.

So that you can more easily understand how they are placed and how they establish this union between different sentences, here are some examples of consequences connectors that can help you fix the explained knowledge a little better.
