•There are many history books; however, none of them may be accurate.
•It rained hard; moreover, lightening flashed and thunder boomed.
•The baby fell asleep; then, the doorbell rang.
•The law does not permit drinking and driving anytime; otherwise, there would be many more accidents.
Conjunctive adverbs look like coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, so, for, yet, nor); however, they are not as strong as coordinating conjunctions and they are punctuated differently.
A conjunctive adverb is also used in a single main clause. In this case, a comma (,) is used to separate the conjunctive adverb from the sentence.
•I woke up very late this morning. Nevertheless, I wasn’t late to school.
•She didn’t take a bus to work today. Instead, she drove her car.
•Jack wants a toy car for his birthday. Meanwhile, Jill wants a dollhouse for her birthday.
•They returned home. Likewise, I went home.
