The connectors or conjunctions are words we use to join two or more sentences or
two words within the same sentence. Here are the most common connectors
grouped into categories.
Copulativos
and, not only but also , not only but as well, both and , no sooner
than
Disyuntivos
or, either or , neither nor , whether or , else, otherwise
Condicionales
if, whether, unless, provided, providing, as long as, in case, in case of
Concesivos
although, though, even though, even if, despite, in spite of, not even if, regardless
of
Conclusivos
therefore, hence, thus, so, consequently
Continuativos
then, moreover, furthermore, besides, in addition to
Adversativos
but, however, nonetheless, yet, still, on the other hand, instead, instead of, on the
contrary
Causales
because, for, because of, as a result of, due to, owing to, since, as
Comparativos
as, as as , not as as , not so as , just as so , as if, as though
Funcionales
so, so that, so as to, so as not to, in order to
Using connectors
Connectors
Connectors are the words or phrases that are used to join the different parts of a sentence. This
union must be performed taking into account the meaning of the sentence and the meaning you
want to give to the text, what we really want to express. When the connectors are appropriate the
reader perceives the text as a single coherent whole.
Also called particulates, the connectors are small words (a, and, or, but, the, one, to, with ...) that
play an auxiliary role within a text. The correct use of these particles gives the writer a very useful
tool to present their ideas clearly and so the reader will understand the message easily.
Example:
If you are a good player, then daily practice this sport. However, do not overdo it. Football is
healthy, but can be very tiring.
Now read the same paragraph without connectors:
If you are a good footballer daily practice this sport. Do not overdo it. Football is healthy, it can
be very tiring.
As we can see, without connectors paragraph changes direction and loses its coherence, the idea
that it is transmitting sounds fuzzy.
Observe the following sentences where the connectors are bad employees:
crossed the swimming pool although very well.
I saw you from afar, but did not recognize you.
With the above examples we can see that if you use inappropriate connectors clarity is lost in
prayer, for this reason there are different kinds of connectors spelling in Spanish grammar, which
have specific use when joining sentences or ideas in a writing given oral or written or some
information. Classifying the connectors comprises:

Connectors Additives. These connectors are used to add additional information to the text (or
speech). For example: The University of Los Andes is one of the best in Latin America, in addition,
their autonomy is recognized nationwide.
The most common expressions that are part of this group are: "and", "well", "well", "well", "also",
"in addition", "up", "more", "more so" , "even" and "to".
Connectors Counter Argumentative. They are expressions that express an idea contrary to the above
statement. For example: Arthur does not want to Lucia, but she loves him.
In this section are: "yet", "nevertheless", "yet", "however", "in any way", "both", "but", "however", "no however
"," in a way "," to some extent "," to some extent "," while "," moreover "," on the contrary "and" change ".
Causative-Consecutive Connectors. These expressions determine the cause or consequence relations
between ideas patterned. For example: My brother Jim worked many, that's why I admire him so much.
The Causative-Consecutive connectors used are: "because", "therefore", "because", "since", "so", "therefore",
"hence", "therefore", "so because "," therefore "," so "," so it is "," for this reason, then, "" so ".
Comparative connectors. These reflect similarity between sentences exposed. For example: My mom cooks
similarly to my grandmother Rosa.
This group includes: "likewise," "similarly," "equally" and "similarly".
Connectors Reformuladores. These connectors linking an idea that explains more precisely one or several
ideas already discussed. For example: Moon is sympathetic, sweet, tender, responsible and very friendly, in
other words, is a great person.
We can mention, among reformuladoras expressions, the following connectors: "ie", "or", "this is", "namely",
"in other words", "in a nutshell", "in a nutshell" "in total", "in a word", "in other words", "in other words",
"soon", "in short", "for example", "well", "like", " viz "," particularly "," to illustrate "and" rather ".
Computers Connectors. The Computers relate the different parts of the text you want to highlight. For
example: The reggaeton, being a musical genre that incites violence, is generating aggressive attitudes in
children and adolescents. (...). Finally, reggaeton can be a cause of the woman is subject to manipulation and
humiliation ...
There is a small classification relating to this class conetores:
Start of speech: "good" and "good" (in colloquial register), "first", "to begin" and "first" (in a register more
formal).
Transition speech: "On the other hand", "moreover", "in another order", "below", "after" and "immediately
afterwards".
Digression speech: "by the way", "incidentally" and "this."
Temporary: "after", "after", "from", "from", "before", "until", "as", "at first", "in the beginning", "immediately", "
temporarily "," currently "," finally "," finally "and" when ".
Space: "next", "up", "down", "left", "in the middle and at the bottom".
Closing speech: "in order", "finally", "in short", "finally", "finishing" and "to summarize."
