Conjunctive AdverbsConjunctive adverbs are words that join independent clauses into one sentence.

A conjunctive adverb helps you create a shorter sentence.

When you use a conjunctive adverb, put a semicolon ( ; ) before it and a comma (, ) after it.

We have many different sizes of this shirt ; however, it comes in only one color.

Some examples of conjunctive adverbs are : accordingly, also, besides, consequently, finally, however, indeed, instead, likewise, meanwhile, moreover, nevertheless, next, otherwise, still, therefore, then, etc.

The baby fell asleep ; then, the doorbell rang.

The law does not permit drinking and driving anytime ; otherwise, there would be many more accidents.

Conjunctive adverbs look like coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, so, for, yet, nor) ; however, they are not as strong as coordinating conjunctions and they are punctuated differently.

A conjunctive adverb is also used in a single main clause.

In this case, a comma (, ) is used to separate the conjunctive adverb from the sentence.

I woke up very late this morning.

Nevertheless, I wasn’t late to school.
