A conjunctive adverb helps you create a shorter sentence. -When you use a conjunctive adverb, put a semicolon (;) before it and a comma (,) after it. *We have many different sizes of this shirt; however , it comes in only one color. -Some examples of conjunctive adverbs are: accordingly, also, besides, consequently, finally, however, indeed, instead, likewise, meanwhile, moreover, nevertheless, next, otherwise, still, therefore, then , etc. *The due date for the final paper has passed; therefore, I could not submit mine on time. *There are many history books; however , none of them may be accurate. *It rained hard; moreover , lightening flashed and thunder boomed. *The baby fell asleep; then , the doorbell rang. *The law does not permit drinking and driving anytime; otherwise , there would be many more accidents. -Conjunctive adverbs look like coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, so, for, yet, nor); however, they are not as strong as coordinating conjunctions and they are punctuated differently. -A conjunctive adverb is also used in a single main clause. In this case, a comma (,) is used to separate the conjunctive adverb from the sentence. *I woke up very late this morning. Nevertheless, I wasn’t late to school. *She didn’t take a bus to work today. Instead , she drove her car. *Jack wants a toy car for his birthday. Meanwhile, Jill wants a dollhouse for her birthday. *They returned home. Likewise, I went home.
