Register formal/informal linkers/connectors
|
Could somebody please provide a list with linkers or connectors in a scale of register (formal - informal)?
My students tend to use them without paying attention to this and it �s starting to drive me crazy!
Thanks!

I �m not sure I �ve actually seen a list of linking words or phrases organised in such a way. Nevertheless it �s a very interesting question. I �m curious to see what our fellow teachers come up with.

Could you give some examples, Ivan?
Are you referring to connectors like �insofar as � v �as far as �, for example?

Well, I �m talking about the use of some "informal" ones such as SO, BESIDES, ANYWAY, etc.
Would it be aceptable to use them in a formal letter, for intance? or maybe I am overcorrecting my students � essays? I �m confused. After reading so many mistakes, one starts to doubt everything! |
