Why should we use CONJUNCTIONS in our writing? Customize this editing technique to your writing. If you find yourself using the short, choppy sentences often—choose a Conjunction instead. The first example’s is VERY repetitive, isn’t it? That’s why it’s important to use the conjunctions to connect similar words.

How can using Conjunctions help you? Communicating your ideas clearly Demonstrating you have control over your writing Making your writing more exciting & fun to read

What do we think of authors or writers who don’t use Conjunctions? They do not proofread. They are lazy (and probably boring). They do not take the time to re-read their work. They don’t care if the reader enjoys their writing
