TRANSITIONS AND TRANSITIONAL
PHRASES
Transitions are words and phrases that help readers move from one idea to another in the same sentence, from one sentence to another in the same paragraph, or from one paragraph to another in the same paper. If writers unintentionally omit transitions between ideas, choose the wrong transitions between ideas, or overuse transitions within a paragraph or paragraphs, the readability of the text may be impeded and reader comprehension of how all ideas connect may be lost. To help readers comprehend and connect two or more ideas within a single sentence or between two or more consecutive sentences within the same paragraph or paper, writers should follow these three important principles concerning transitions and transitional phrases: Choose the Transition that Best Matches the Rhetorical Strategy. When two or more ideas need to be connected within a single sentence or between two or more consecutive sentences within the same paragraph, choose the transition that best matches the rhetorical strategy. Within a single sentence or between two consecutive sentences that need to present a cause and effect, for example, a writer will need specific transitions (a) to introduce the cause and then (b) to imply its effect. (Note: See the list of transitional words and phrases that have been grouped within different rhetorical strategies is provided below.) A single paragraph could utilize several rhetorical strategies to accomplish its purpose. For instance, if the purpose of a paragraph is to present two ideas or subjects for comparison and contrast, then several transitions need to be carefully selected for readers to clearly understand this intention. Therefore, a series of transitions would be selected (a) to introduce the first idea (e.g., To illustrate), (b) to introduce the second idea for comparison (e.g., Similarly), (c) to choose a transition or transitions to contrast the two ideas (e.g., While, However, On the other hand, Yet), and finally (d) to choose a transition to concede a point about (e.g., Granted) or to conclude something about the two ideas (e.g.,Consequently).
Avoid the Overuse of Transitions.
Too many transitions will interfere with the flow and readability of a text, overwhelming readers with repetitious interjections (e.g., a paragraph with several sentences beginning with Moreover, However, For instance, Thus, and Therefore,). Reserve the use of transitions when readers will need help moving from one idea to another in the same sentence. Moreover, vary sentence structures and the placement of transitions. For example, instead of beginning a sentence with "therefore," a writer may vary the sentence structure and placement of the transition this way: The policy was implemented; therefore, many employees were expected to comply.Capella University Writing Center

Provide Transitions between Paragraphs.
Follow the MEAL Plan for paragraphs by using the last sentence of a paragraph to transition and connect the current paragraph's main idea to the next paragraph's main idea. For example, a transitional sentence between two paragraphs about the current economy might conclude in this way: The rise in foreclosures is certainly a negative component of the current economy; however, many may be surprised to learn that this same economy does provide some significant investment opportunities. This transitional sentence concludes the current paragraph's main idea (the rise in foreclosures is a negative component of the current economy), but it also provides readers with a preview of the next paragraph's main idea (investment opportunities are a positive component of the current economy) and how it will contrast, signaled by the word "however," with the current paragraph's main idea. Transitions And Transitional for Different Rhetorical Strategies To help writers make the right choice when choosing transitions to connect two or more ideas within a single sentence or between two or more consecutive sentences within the same paragraph or paper, the list below provides various transitional words and phrases that have been grouped within different rhetorical strategies. This is not an exhaustive list of transitions.To Introduce an Example
