What Is It

Emphasis in writing is important because it helps readers to

easily recognize the main points from the text. There are words and

expressions that emphasize a point. Some of those words and

expressions are conjunctions, adverb/conjunctive adverbs, and

parenthetical expressions. So what are these words and expressions?

Conjunction

A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, or sentences.

Some conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, etc.

Examples:

1. She bought a pair of shoes and an umbrella.

2. I sent him a gift, but he did not receive it.

3. You can write your essay with a pen or pencil.

4. The information has not yet been analyzed.

5. My older brother doesn’t want to transfer to another school, nor do I.

Conjunctive adverbs

A conjunctive adverb is an adverb which connects two

independent clauses. It shows cause and effect, sequence, contrast,

comparison, or other relationships. The adverbs and adverbial phrases

that fit the criteria for a conjunctive adverb are always modifiers of the

predicate in the first independent clause. The following are examples of

conjunctive adverbs.

Conjunctive Adverbs

furthermore Hence however indeed Instead likewise

meanwhile moreover Nevertheless

next nonetheless otherwise similarly still Subsequently Consequently conversely finally

accordingly besides also

Examples:

1. Joan was so happy; finally, she passed the board exam.

2. What a surprise to see you! However, are you happy to see me too?

3. We were forbidden to attend; therefore, we stayed at home.

4. I'll meet you later; meanwhile, I'll check the documents first. 5. The students submitted their research paper; moreover,

they were preparing for their exam.

Parenthetical Expressions

A parenthetical expression is a phrase or clause that is inserted

within the sentence. It interrupts another phrase or clause. Note that

the expressions are enclosed in pairs of punctuation marks, commas or

parentheses or dashes. Some of the parenthetical expressions are:

after all at any rate on the contrary I believe in fact in the first place

generally speaking on the other hand for example for instance

Examples:

as a consequence as a result

1. Strawberry jam, for example, is good for breakfast. 2. Uncle Charlie, in the first place, paid all the bills to stay away

with inconvenience.

3. Well, as a matter of fact, she did. 4. The doctor checks her up, in fact, she is told to have the

laboratory tests.

5. Animals have died as a consequence of coming into contact

with this chemical.
