                  Recommendations for writing<\/h3>\n

                  Now that you know the main connectors, it is important that you know how to use them. Here are a few tips to make your writing a 10 out of 10:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Most connectors have a comma after them.<\/li>\n
                  • Avoid using connectors in a forced, unnatural way.<\/li>\n
                  • Do not always repeat the same connectors.<\/li>\n
                  • Structure the text beforehand, as if it were an outline. In this way you will see much more clearly the structure of the writing, and you will be able to choose better the connectors. Remember that all writing has three parts: the introduction, the knot and the denouement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
