Simultaneously, we all made a stop


Unfortunately, threats and trials were rough
Nonetheless, to keep everyone safe
Similarly, stay at home is what we make
However, with lots of twists and turns
In other words, it’s full of challenges
Nevertheless, it all went well
Eventually, life is back as well
Coherence is very important in a sentence, paragraph or texts.
• It helps the author in establishing connections between and
among concepts presented.
• It can only be established with the help of various transition
signals that signify different meanings.
• These signals are used depending on the meaning or context
portrayed.
• A change in transition signal may result to incomprehensible
concept or absence of connection.

10. are
