COHESION

Cohesion is the smooth, chronological flow of sentences and

paragraphs from one to another. This is an important characteristic to
have in writing any text because when ideas are presented with clear
relation to each other, the message chat you want to communicate will
be easily understood.

Transitional markers help us achieve cohesion, not only in written,

but also in oral communication. They act as a bridge that link together
idcas in a text. Transitional markers guide the How of thoughts by
providing hints, warnings, and grounds for making decisions about
one's understanding and evaluation of what is read or heard. Thus,
they serve mental directors and controllers of idcas within a text.
