What Is It

Emphasis in writing is important because it helps readers to

easily recognize the main points from the text. There are words and
expressions that emphasize a point. Some of those words and
expressions are conjunctions, adverb/conjunctive adverbs, and
parenthetical expressions. So what are these words and expressions?

Conjunction
A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, or sentences.
Some conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, etc.
Examples:
1. She bought a pair of shoes and an umbrella.
2. I sent him a gift, but he did not receive it.
3. You can write your essay with a pen or pencil.
4. The information has not yet been analyzed.
5. My older brother doesn’t want to transfer to another school, nor do
I.
Conjunctive adverbs
A conjunctive adverb is an adverb which connects two
independent clauses. It shows cause and effect, sequence, contrast,
comparison, or other relationships. The adverbs and adverbial phrases
that fit the criteria for a conjunctive adverb are always modifiers of the
predicate in the first independent clause. The following are examples of
conjunctive adverbs.
Conjunctive Adverbs

furthermore Hence however

indeed Instead likewise
meanwhile moreover Nevertheless
next nonetheless otherwise
similarly still Subsequently
Consequently conversely finally
accordingly besides also
Examples:

1. Joan was so happy; finally, she passed the board exam.

2. What a surprise to see you! However, are you happy to see me too?
3. We were forbidden to attend; therefore, we stayed at home.
4. I'll meet you later; meanwhile, I'll check the documents first.
5. The students submitted their research paper; moreover,
they were preparing for their exam.

Parenthetical Expressions
A parenthetical expression is a phrase or clause that is inserted
within the sentence. It interrupts another phrase or clause. Note that
the expressions are enclosed in pairs of punctuation marks, commas or
parentheses or dashes. Some of the parenthetical expressions are:

after all at any rate on the contrary

I believe in fact in the first place
generally speaking on the other hand for example
for instance as a consequence as a result

Examples:

1. Strawberry jam, for example, is good for breakfast.

2. Uncle Charlie, in the first place, paid all the bills to stay away
with inconvenience.
3. Well, as a matter of fact, she did.
4. The doctor checks her up, in fact, she is told to have the
laboratory tests.
5. Animals have died as a consequence of coming into contact
with this chemical.
