➢ Distinguishing between ADVERBS and CONJUNCTION:

• ADVERBS: They are separated from the previous sentence by “.” or “;” and followed by “ ,“.  

“We knew you were coming; therefore, we arranged a party”

• CONJUNCTIONS: They join both sentences directly.

“We arranged a party because we knew you were coming”

- Sometimes, the conjunction connector can come at the beginning; then, we separate one sentence from the other with “ ,“.  

“As we knew you were coming, we arranged a party”

- Some of these linking connective words can only be followed by a NOUN, a PHRASE or GERUND but never a sentence. In some cases, they are actually prepositions: due to, despite, etc.
