句子中的连接词或字可以帮助段落的连贯性，在这一课中特别介绍一些常见的Transitions & Conjunctions 供大家参考之用。

在使用某些转折字时，必须了解标点符号的用法。 例如：若在一句子中使用引申或转折意思，如下列所示，便要用分号和逗号。
For example:

用法（二）：
如果要表示两句子间的意思衔接或转移，则运用标点符号时便如下列所示：
For example:
I studied Japanese for four years in college. Nevertheless, I had trouble talking with people when I was traveling in Japan.
