Connectors of sequence Suggested connectors to teach

 Hello guys, this is my first blog and I am very excited, the objective of this blog is educational, because I will teach you how to use sequence connectors.

Sequence connectors are used to link opinions from one sentence to the next and to give paragraphs coherence. Connectors help us organize the events of the beginning, middle and end of a story.
