Connector Example Explanation

Explain connectors (also called explanatory) are those connectorsthat relate two statements, phrases or sentences in such a way that one is the explanation of the other. That is, two ideas are connected, to make a concept or situation clearer, or to make what is being talked about known.

Let's see two explained examples of how these connectors work:

• “Her heart from him was locked; In other words, I had already met the love of his life ": In other words works as an explanatory connector, so the second sentence (he had met the love of his life) is a clarification of the first (his heart was locked)
• "The connectors can be of many types, for instance, they can be explanatory, additive, oppositional, sequential, etc. ": for instance works as an explain connector in which the second sentence (they can be explanatory, additives ...) is related to the first because it is a manifestation or clarification of what it refers to (they can be of many types)

As we can see from the previous couple of examples, the explanation connector

introduce the explanatory sentence, and is always separated from the rest of the sentence by punctuation marks, either a comma (,) or a semicolon (;).
