Linking words: conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs exercises

In short

Test yourself on linking words: conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs with 12 interactive questions. Every answer comes with an explanation — and if you get one wrong, the AI tutor can explain exactly why your answer didn't work.

Question 1 of 12

Choose the correct sentence.

Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Linking words: conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs lesson — Linking words connect ideas within or between sentences. Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, so, because) join two clauses inside one sentence with a comma before them; conjunctive adverbs (however, therefore, moreover) link separate sentences and need a semicolon or full stop before them, plus a comma after. Mixing up the punctuation each requires is one of the most common linking-word errors.
