Paragraph Coherence
COHESIVE DEVICES
Coherence is related to unity. Ideas that are arranged in a clear and logical way are coherent. When a
text is unified and coherent, the reader can easily understand the main points. Creating an outline helps
us make a well-organized essay. When organizing your ideas, think about what type of organization is
the best for your topic or essay type. Here are some examples of types of writing and good ways to
organize them. Some of cohesive devices are as follows:
 Transitions
 Pronoun References
 Repetition of Key Ideas
