What Are Connective Sentences and Why Do We Use Them?
How Do Connective Sentences Work and How Do You Make Them?
There are two ways to make a connective sentence either using commas, or heavy connective sentences. In connective sentences the commas are used differently than in normal sentences, instead of connecting the two (or more) ideas, they separate them. For this pattern, the commas and connectors are always used in pairs.
How To Use Connective Sentences
Incorrect Use:
“I went to San Francisco and, South Dakota .”
“Kylie likes guinea pigs but she likes hamsters, more.”
“Manny either wants vanilla or, chocolate ice cream.”
“Its my birthday in 12, days
Correct Use:
“I ran the 5k with Igor, and Disondofa.”
“Ruby either likes cotton candy, or pizza.
“Mason likes popcorn, and soda.”
“I like ice cream, but I like chocolate cake more.”
