The most effective writers use transitions in their work, which are words or phrases that are like a bridge between ideas. Transitions keep the reader from getting lost and confused. Transitions are most often found at the beginning of sentences, but they also can occur within the sentence itself and help move the reader from one thought or idea to another.
