The connectors They are the words or expressions that allow us to indicate a relationship between two sentences. For example: but, and, although, also.

Depending on the type of connector, a different meaning is given to the connection that is established. It is important to know the function of each connector to use it properly and to link the different ideas of a text.

The use of connectors allows a more fluent writing, favoring the reading and understanding of the texts. In addition to correct spelling and grammar, it is one of the elements that give quality to a text.

Connectors can be simple (if they are made up of a single word) or compound (if they are made up of two or more words).
