Transition Words Can Indicate Addition

Addition transitions connect two pieces of information that are equally important.

Example

The second sentence gives a new piece of information that is just as important as the information in the first sentence. The transition “in addition” makes the relationship between the two ideas clear.

Here are some transition words that can signal addition:
