Transition words ทำหน้าที่เชื่อมประโยค ตำแหน่งจะวางอยู่ระหว่างประโยคที่ 1 กับประโยคที่ 2 และต้องเป็นคำที่มีความสัมพันธ์ต่อเนื่องกับประโยคแรก โดยประโยคแรกจบด้วยเครื่องหมาย full stop ( . ) หรือ Simicolon ( ; ) และหลัง Transition words จะตามด้วยเครื่องหมาย comma ( , ) แล้วถึงขึ้นต้นประโยคที่ 2 ดังโครงสร้างต่อไปนี้
โครงสร้าง 1 : Sentence A. + Transition words, + Sentence B. เช่น
                   I was sleepy. Therefore, I went to bed.
                   (ฉันง่วง ดังนั้นจึงไปนอน)
โครงสร้าง 2 : Sentence A; + Transition words, + Sentence B. เช่น 
                   The hotel was very reasonable; moreover, the location was perfect.
                   (โรงแรมราคาสมเหตุสมผล อีกทั้งยังอยู่ในโลเคชั่นที่ดีด้วย)
