The conjunction as a casual transition

The conjunction as a casual transition

A conjunction is a word or expression that acts as a transition between clauses and phrases in a complex sentence. For example: "不但……而且……" búdàn...érqiě... (not only … but also …), "如果……就……" rúguǒ...jiù... (if… then…), and "总而言之" zǒng'éryánzhī (all in all), where the first clause or phrase is connected to the following clause or phrase by a conjunction.

Paired conjunctions can express "cause and effect" in certain situations, for example, by placing a conjunction like “因为……所以……” yīnwèi...suóyǐ... between the first part and the later parts of the sentence; what happens at the end of the sentence is a result of what was first described during the beginning.
