Cohesion: Using effective linking words, phrases, and sentence structures to join information and ideas. The following are five useful ways to make your writing more cohesive: -Write compound sentences (give equal emphasis to different ideas). -Write complex sentences (express a relationship between ideas-for example, cause and effect or contrast and add emphasis. -Use conjunctive adverbs (however, moreover, therefore, etc.). -Use "FANBOYS" coordinators (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). -Use subordinators (although, because, before, if, which, etc.).
