What do you call Phrases or words used to connect one idea the next?

Phrases or words used to connect one idea to the next are called transitional words and phrases or simply transitions.

Here are some other terms you might encounter:

* Conjunctive adverbs: These are adverbs that connect clauses and show a relationship between them. Examples include "however," "therefore," "moreover," and "consequently."

* Transitional phrases: These are groups of words that connect sentences or paragraphs. Examples include "in addition," "on the other hand," "as a result," and "for example."

No matter what you call them, transitions are essential for writing that is clear, coherent, and easy to follow. They help readers understand the relationships between ideas and follow the flow of your writing.
