Writing – Transitions – in addition, moreover, furthermore, another

Test your understanding of this English lesson

Many students choose to study abroad because of the life-lessons that travel provides. This way they not only improve their academic skills, but their personal and cultural skills as well.

Furthermore,...

Climate change is a problem that affects all nations. We must all take responsibility and make adjustments to our lifestyles, such as driving smaller cars, wasting less food, and recycling everything we can. Furthermore, we must educate our children about the dangers of climate change so that they can help find solutions in the future.

Tanks aloooooooooooooot

. I admire your work . Keep up the excellent work you guys are doing! Congrats

It’s the first time I leave a message and it is to Adam. The only way I could get into it was this way. I am teacher in Brazil and my students and I have been watching the engvid vídeos a lot. The ones I have already presented to them were Ronnie, Adam and also REbecca – we haven’t checked the other teacher yet, but there will be a time to do so. I really would like to have a bigger space to write or to change ideas, suggestions, etc. Is this the only way?

hi Adam, thanks a lot about this video. i am practicing for apply ielts exam..Can you give more lessons about IELTS. your voice and your skill teaching is so great!! they really help me

hello, this videos are very usefull, thanks for your support!

pleas,can you make videos about SAT (writing and Reading setion……..)

Thanks a lot!!!

Adam, I noticed that you used twice the form: not only… but also It is correct in the way you used it???

Hi Benzalez,

I’m pretty sure I did use the expression correctly. Not sure what you’re asking, to be honest. Can you make it more specific? Not only does subject(1) do A, but subject(1 or other) also does B.–Subject does two things, or two subjects do one thing. But different contexts will explain the use better.

Let me know if this helps?

Thank you kindly!

Hi there!!!!!11 Do you want to practice english??? I do!!!! Let’s practice on facebook or skype!!!

This is my first time too. I love to learn english here. Engvid, thank you very much for those rich lessons. All teachers here are splendid.

I’d like to practice with you but don’t know your skype. Mine is inga_kogan. Search me.

Could you practice with me? Luisfer900530 Skype

Useful lesson! Thsnks a lot!!!!!

Many thanks

Thanks a lot :-)

Thanks for your lesson.

Thanks I got 80 marks

Thanks, nice lesson!

In one of the questions I found the sentence “…and that they be similar in topic”. Which tense is this? Many thanks!!! Ermanno

Hi Egirardelli,

This is the subjunctive voice:

It is important (that) he arrive on time.

The doctor recommended (that) I be hospitalized.

It is a specific structure. Look for it in your grammar book. if you want to know more, you can also check out Alex’s lesson on this site.

It is important that he arrive on time or he arrives on time?. You are a great English teacher.

How about the first part of the sentence: “It is very important that there are two ideas linked by ‘in addition (to)’, ‘moreover’, and ‘furthermore’, and that they be similar in topic.” ? Why isn’t it in the subjunctive voice? Thank you!

Clear as a bell! Thank you!

100…….. Thanks a lot

very interesting and useful as well. thanks a lot, Adam! :)

:) So Helpful

hello there, i need a English speaker for practicing English please help me . my ielts exam is right in a corner ..please help me

It is a very effectual lesson, moreover provide us to understand a little more about transitions. Thanks a lot.

GREAT LESSON! THANKS A LOT SIR!

Question 9 – I thought that is no connection between the first and the second paragraph, because in the first paragraph the last two phrases are about what we must to do(take responsibility, educate our children). But probably the connection is with the first proposition – climate change affects all nations (The second paragraph – moreover affects individuals and businesses)

Hi Arinamg,

Excellent point you make here. And you are right; I would reintroduce the main topic to begin the second paragraph and add another perspective. This way I am still adding ideas, but reminding the reader of what this essay is about, climate change. If I wanted to add to things we should do, but focus on one idea, I would probably use ” a third action we can take,…” “another thing we can do is…”

Good stuff :)

I have enjoyed this lesson. Thanks Adam !

Excellent explained. I wish I had had such a teacher when I was young. Do you workout the quiz by yourself?

Hi Bajuware55,

Thank you, and yes, I do write the quizzes myself. that’s why I appreciate these commnents.

Thank you Adam.

It’s very helpful lesson. Thanks Adam so much!

Hello dear prof. Always everything’s okay with u. Tnx 4 being our teacher, 9 out of ten.

Additionally,U made the day wonderfully! Heartily, Wish u luck; ;) fatiima!

Excellent lesson, made with a very clear and understandable English.

Thanks a lot . I’ll be following you..

Thank you! It´s very instructive. Furthermore, I think I am improving my English by watching your videos.

Definitely, definitely a very useful lesson. Thank you!

Thanks a lot Mr Adam

May you please explain for me why you wrote ” to transition”on the board? I was excepting a verb after the preposition to , otherwise you put a noun. It sounds a bit weird for me. Thank you for you help.

You reminded me a question. I learned once (for two weeks) Spanish, but from English book, and there was written something about “what” and “why”. I don’t remember what that exactly was, but I try to give two examples:

“What is this used for?” vs “Why is this used for?”

Can we substitute “what” with “why” or vice versa? Maybe this example isn’t adequate, but I have that feeling there is something else I should know about this.

You can ask “what is this used for?” and “why is this used?” (no for in the second). These are actually two different questions. The first asks the purpose of something (i.e. to what end), and the second asks the reason for it. Two different this, but quite commonly used interchangeably.

There are many nouns in English that don’t have a verb form but can be used as a verb. I explained to transition means to bridge. Bridge is also a noun that can be used as a verb. What might seem weird to you is ‘-ion’ ending. That is a bit rare to see, but it happens. Here are a few words that are the same as verb and noun. Hope it helps.

audition, caption, condition, fashion, mention, etc.

I was expecting* your help*

thank you….

Thank you Adam , very useful lesson . I got 9 correct of 10 .

thank you to all engvid teacher’s who teach me freely from the distance,you enable me to save million’s rupiah.It would be really expensive for average guy like me if i go to the english course guided by native speaker,thank you….viva engvid……..

Thanks Adam! Very useful…

Thanks Adam

I thought I hadn’t understood the lesson well, but I got 10 corret on the quiz! Thanks Adam!

It is a helpful lesson. I do hope we can express ourselves in a better way. =) skype: renan.fernandes

Hi, please help me with pronunciation: “focus”.

FO sounds like toe, Joe, low, snow,…

the ‘u’ in CUS sounds like ‘i’ in fist, list. But it’s a pretty short sound so it sounds like ‘kiss’ but said quickly.

Hope that helps

Very interesting. Thanks!!

useful lesson,thanks

Excellent start

Many thanks Adam for this lesson. I hope to watch more about common mistakes that ELS students make.

Best regards!

Many thanks, bro.

100:) Thanks Adam!

Adam, Could you make a lesson about expression “… as well”? English native speakers often use it at the end of the sentence. Sometimes it is hard to understand.

My name is Peter.

as well means too, or also. We can use it at the end of a sentence just like too or also. “I want to go too= I want to go as well.” Even when you see it after a comma , as well., it works in the same way.

Does that help?

oh~~~ I see. I have often confused as well and also. Thanks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adam^^

Hello from London & thank you.

I am very confuse in preposition and conjuncton as well. It is my humble request to Mr. Alex. Please teach me. How to use preposition and conjuction as well.

This is first time to me…But i’ve enjoyed and learned..thanks adam…

What did you mean by “…to do so”? I looked it up on Cambridge dictionary but I didn’t get the real meaning. Thanks

Hi Henriqe,

The confusion might be with the word ‘so’ at the end. Look at this example:

I want to learn to play the guitar. But to do so would require more time than I have available.

so in this sentence is used to point to something that was just mentioned before. To do so means to do what was just mentioned before. In this case, to do so = to learn to play guitar.

good lesson, pretty useful thanks a lot…

I got 100!! Thank you for the lesson!

This lesson difficult for me

thank you very much , really i need this lesson

Hello again, I have three questions:

1. How to use “in addition to”? For instance how to rewrite the example from the vid:

“His laziness caused the company to perform badly last quarter. Moreover, his attitude toward the board has put his job in jeopardy.”

We can say: “In addition, his attitude toward the board has put his job in jeopardy.”

But when we want to use “in addition to”, we have to refer to “his laziness”, right? So, it would be:

“In addition to his laziness, his attitude toward the board has put his job in jeopardy.” — is that correct? (I think I just get it, but I write it anyway.) :)

2. “Which” and “which one” — For example: “Which one of them is better?” and “Which of them is better?” Do they mean the same, and can we omit “one”?

3. “play in games” or “play games” — I’m not sure how to use “play” properly in this case. If I want to ask my friend: “Do you want to play…” should I use “games” or “in games”, or “Do you want to play…” “this” or “in this”.

1. Yes, you are correct. If you add the ‘to’ you must refer back, because that is what the ‘to’ is doing, it is referring.

2. They basically mean the same. You can omit the ‘one’ though usually when we have only 2 things, we add the ‘one’ to specify, “which one is better?”

3. Usually we’d use play games. But… Michael Jordan played in some of the best games in NBA history. In this case we talk about actual competitions, (usually pro sports.) play a game, the game itself. Play in a game, the sporting action. Hope that makes sense.

So, basically “play in” means participation in an event? I mean “I play hockey”, but “I’ll play in a hockey tournament that will be held in my town next month.”, right?

Awesome explanation, it was easy to understand, thanks.

So important to know it

Thank you very much Mr, Adam. I really appreciated!. It was useful and practical lesson.

شكراً = Thanks by Arabic :)

It’s always a pleasure to watch these useful videos. However, I’ve got a question. Sometime I see the construction ‘there is’ with ‘too many’ eg. ‘There’s too many cars on the road.’ Is it right?

Hi Dmitriy,

No, grammatically it is not correct. However, it is quite common to hear it. You probably won’t see it written as much though. The reason many people say it though is that it is easier to say there’s than there’re.

Hi Adam, I want to ask you a question. A very common question for job is “why do you want to work for this company?” and “What is your motivation?” Could you kindly tell me what is the best answer for the same. Bless you dear.

Hi Sajjadafzal,

These answers would take to much space here, but to answer the first one well, make sure you research the company well and highlight their best features in your answer. They want to see that you know who they are and are genuinely interested rather than just be looking for a job. they also want to see that you came prepared. For the second, be honest. Say that you hungry for success and your dreams motivate you.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Adam. I’ve just watched Emma’s “Writing in English – Comma Splices” video, and I think there is small error in the sentence “So the internet…”. Comma before “it also makes” should be replaced by period or semicolon. Shouldn’t it?

I looked at the quiz and video but didn’t see that sentence. Where is it?

Hi. I’m sorry for confusion. Sentence, that I mean exists in your video. It appears about 6:13. There is: “So the internet not only helps people connect to friends and family anywhere in the world, it also makes it cheap to do so”. According to Emma’s lecture it should be: 1) “So the internet not only helps people connect to friends and family anywhere in the world. It also makes it cheap to do so”. or 2) “So the internet not only helps people connect to friends and family anywhere in the world; it also makes it cheap to do so”.

Adam, hello again, I have two examples to discuss. Lately I watched some episodes of “Friends”, and there were many questions like these below:

What did you just do? What the hell did you do?

The questions were said immediately after a situation occurred. Why is there simple past and not present perfect? I remember the scene from “Star Wars”, the moment when Mace Windu was killed by Anakin Skywalker, and after this, the killer said: “What have I done?” What is the difference between those three questions?

Technically, it should be the pres perf, but again, in everyday English, people let this stuff go. More importantly, did you notice the tone these questions were asked in? That’s where the meaning comes from I’m guessing. Let me know

Yes, I noticed that. I mean, when Anakin Skywalker killed Mace Windu, he said “What have I done?” as, I think, he really regretted what he did. And also the deed has bad consequences. I can think about some RPG games in one of which some people freed those bloodthirsty creatures, I mean dragons :), and now the beasts will destroy all the world. They also could say “What have we done?”

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that “What have I/you/we done?” is often said when something bad happens. In the RPG example, no one actually needs/wants to know why the dragons fly at the sky (maybe they already know this). But they surely know what that means. :)

When someone says “What the hell did you do?”, I think he wants to know what actually happened. I don’t know, but it’s the only one thing that comes to mind. :)

You’re right, but it’s also clear that the person asking the question knows you’ve done something bad. It’s more for emphasis.

Please don’t hold it against me, but I’ve actually never seen Star Wars :(

Don’t worry. I’m not so big fan of Star Wars, I mean, I saw it once or twice, that’s all, and I remembered the scene. :)

Thank you very much indeed.

you are real man Adam!

Thank you so much Mr Adam. Please can you help me? Can you explain how I can use those complex connectives but can you explain in a simpler form please? Thank you :)

I can make a lesson about it. Do you mean conjunctions like and, but… or clause markers like though, if, …?

Both pleaassee ;;)

Hello Adam,

Could you make another video but with fancy words such as albeit, having said that, and so on.

Well thanks for the video, though.

I’ll get to those as well. :)

Mr Adam how we can use ” thus” plz help me

Yes, it’s on its way. :)

thank you so much my teacher Adam. that lesson really helpful thank you very much

Nice lesson.

thank you for this

hank you so much my teacher

thanks teacher adam . I have idea why engvid dont have examples of exams of IELETS specially for listening and speaking even with cost of dollars?

These lessons are on their way. :)

Hi Adam. Thank you a lot. I realy needed this stuff. take care.

Hi Adam, thanks a lot for you lesson! I have one question with quiz 9. I can’t understand what does “stylistically not attractive” mean. Thanks in advance for your answering!

It means that it might be grammatically correct, but in terms of style (aesthetics) it doesn’t really work well.

So does it mean that we don’t use this word that way? Just because of habit of use?

Hi Adam. Excellent lesson! Thank you!!!

Thank you Adam. It help me a lot!

It helped me a lot.

Hi Adam. It’s very good teaching method, I’m start to learn English with your lessons. Thanks for all

Thanks Adam. I have more transition words to share with everybody here: Besides this/that, Not only…but also. :)

Thanks Adam. I have been learning and exercising English more than 20 years, No one as teachfull as you. Thanks for all

Thank you, Adam. You are a wonderful teacher, make easier to understand the lessons. I really appreciate your work.

Thank you a lot!

Thank you Adam, you are always convincing. could you please tell us how to extract the all components of the reading section in the TOEFL exam, like the main idea, the text is mainly about, what can be infered from the text … etc

hi,Adam,how are you?.I really like your explanation of english..i need your advice so how can i improve my vocabulary by memorizing..when i watch TV or any entertainment i don’t understand lots of words then immediately i am going down to depressive situation..

hello Mr Adamm thanks for this good lesson. but i have a request if you don`t mind, please can you help me to understand what`s the difference between: another and an other i am really confused with them thanks

Hello, Adam! Many thanks for such a helpful lesson! However, I wonder whether it is correct to write internet or Internet. Could you make it clear please?

Hello, Teacher Adam! Thank you so much for these helpful lessons :) Here’s a question that I wanna ask you. Is the word “besides” also a transition word and does it also have the same meaning as “in addition,” “furthermore” and “moreover?” Thanks!

Got 100 :D Thanks Adam

Hi , what means ” get your house in order” and how I can use this propery in my letter

thank you so much for your efforts . i need videos more for IELTS preparation and test simulation or test trails. any body here can help ?

Thanks Adam, a very good lesson. The 3rd question of the test is very useful so as to understand the correct use of these transitions. What about the correct word to use in that phrase instead of ‘furthermore’? Could ‘too’ at the end of the sentence be correct? (Facebook has a lot of fun games too).Cheers

9/10 in the test , Thanks Adam.

I have read that semicolon is used before these transitions followed by a comma but when we use comma before these transitions. kindly plz reply me about this. Thank you

Hi Teacher which one is better for IELTS writing, to use first, second,… or to use these transitions in first of paragraphs? thank you

I really appreciate for this wonderful video that you have fabricated, It was few days ago I struggled with these liking words, but now I got a clear idea how to use them. once again thank you Mr Adam.

could “besides” be added to this bunch ? thx in advance

I really love your lessons!!! It’s understood absolutely everything and I took a lot of information from it. And I’d like to mention that sometimes you put some phrases from lessons into quizes, the explanations that you provide. You are amazing teacher !

Why can’t I watch the video?

Adam! Your tests are the hardest ones! although I think they’re the funniest ones! Thanks a lot for the class.

Ps: Ronnie, don’t be jealous, please! You are a teacher as fantastic as Adam! Ahahahaha

Can you please provide a list of transitional words when ideas are same and ideas are different.

Thanks a lot, Adam!

thankssssssssssssssss

Many thanks, Adam!!

Hi Adam, I don’t really understand the answer of question No. 9. Would you please explain it more for me? Thanks

The above paragraph uses ‘furthermore’ already. Is …it correct to begin the next paragraph with ‘furthermore’?The answer is Yes, but it is not recommended because it is stylistically not attractive. Why? Because you have used furthermore in the last paragraph, begin with furthermore again is a redundancy, is possible but preferably use another transition like moreover or in addition to…

I got 7 out of 10, Trying to get 10 of 10

I got 8 out of 10 very useful and important lesson this is the first time that I know moreover and furthermore couldn’t be two words great lesson Thanks you always have great lesson

Thank you Adam

THANK U VRY MUCH

Thanks a lot !!! Best regards from Colombia !!!

thanks Adam

Many thanks it was really helpful !!!

Hello. Thanks for the lesson. Could I ask a question?

If we want to go from one idea to another but not connected with the first one what connection word or phrase can we use?

For example: “Social networks are great for business because they allow you to connect to many people.” “Social networks have a lot of fun games…..”

Your lessons are very useful and well explained…..thanks for being such great teacher. Do you have any indication of what books or what material to use for practising for IELTS test????

Thanks Adam. You’re very clearly in your lessons!!!! Greetings from Mexico!!!

Guys, you are the best!

Hi, Adam. Could you please make a video explaining the difference between avenge and revenge, reserve and preserve, audience and viewers and spectators,…As a non-native English speaker, I am confused with these and don’t know which word to use in a specific situation. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to watching new lesson videos from you. Wayne

I have a question on the concept of connected ideas. What do you mean by saying that? I feel more confused. When I used to write my essays, for the second and third arguments, I used these transition words you mentioned. For example, if the topic is the benefits of the social media. I will have 3 arguments. One is that it makes us make more foreign friends. Another one is that it provides a cheaper way for us to communicate with our families and friends. Third one will be it keep us updated about what happens around you every day. Are these are three connected arguments? Before, I just used moreover and furthermore at the start of the second and third arguments paragraphs. Thanks.

thanks…

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your hard work.

Hello Adam i got 10 of 10 from this quiz.it was so unexpected for getting that.thanks from indonesia adam

thank you ur so kind

Thank you Mr Adam

I love to learn English, first of all because, in general, I enjoy discovering new languages: it gives me a feeling of intellectual, aesthetic, and “musical” pleasure. It’s also interesting and fun to see the mysterious links between language and psychosociology, or to recognize the similarities between terms from a tongue to another, and the word’s origins and constructions. Furthermore, English is a wonderful key to worldwide international communication, and that can create so many opportunities of meeting new people and beginning great relationships either in the personal or the professional field. Another reason I’m so happy to be learning English is that it gives me access to a huge amount of cultural material: articles, books, movies and series that haven’t been translated in my mother tong, and which can be highly worth knowing! Moreover, to me, learning English is exciting and motivating because I can reasonably hope to be able to speak it quite well one day. That is due to the fact that there are many resources in the internet, and many people available for English conversation. That makes it easy and exhilarating at once! You see, when I do something, I like to do it fully, deeply, and that’s possible with learning English. It’s not as frustrating as learning Hindi, for example. And that’s thanks to people like you guys! Your videos and your quizzes are so helpful! So thank you sooo much to all the team!

Thanks Adam, your videos help me a lot

Finally! I got 10 correct out of 10 :)

Thanks Mr. Adam!

Thank you very much, it’s really a usefull videos that for sure will help us to improve a lot our english skills

6. (Many students choose to study abroad because of the life-lessons that travel provides. This way they not only improve their academic skills, but their personal and cultural skills as well.)

About this question number 6, i tkink personaly that they have talked a little bit about the advantages of studying abroad, therefore the second idea should be about the difficulties of learning abroad; otherwise, is like developping the same idea.

Thanks Adam! This is my first time to get 9/10

Great lesson about the transitions..thanks!

I got 90! Hi Adam One question I have that how can I start my body paragraph the way that attract the reader and say my first reason of thesis very well.

Hi Adam I am Moni from India.After watching this lesson,I opened dictionary to see sample examples and check my understanding regarding ‘Moreover’.I have few questions.

1)”The government officials who will decide when to reopen their states are facing competing pressures, moreover.” As you discribed,there must be two ideas,but here there is only one sentence/idea.Where is the connection of two ideas? And how to use ‘Moreover’ at the end of a sentence?

2) a)”The crash, moreover, was an “unavoidable accident,” the company’s attorneys said” How to use moreover within a sentence?why here is only one idea? Is there another idea begining of the sentence that dictionary doesn’t provide us? Thanks in advance.?.

9/10! One mistake was made in which question was not read carefully.

Thank you! You are simply awesome.

thank you Mr.Adam , you are the best teacher ever, many thing get clear now to me .

hi there, thank you very much for your helps Adam. I want to study the transition topic more. have you made other videos in this topic?. such as: contrast transitions (however,…), result(as a result, therefore,…), …

hello teacher I read two books(focus on vocabulary 1&2) and grammar and books such as collins and Longman about reading, but I can’t write well even one paragraph. if it is possible for you, guide me. i see your lesson that’s very interesting. i have to become ready for IELTS.

too poor to me

Thanks a lot for your efforts here and at your channel , I’ve been searching for such a lesson for long :) , and I didn’t know that we can use “Moreover” and “Another reason” in the same sentence. Do we have always to put comma after these transitions and to use them capitalized after full-stop.

sir, is there any way I can send you my essay so you evaluate it for me, please.

I have come across it the first time on the youtube channel as I was looking for good writing tips and I found this. Having seen it, I became shocked as I got to learn many things from it, moreover, I tried to make sentences by my self and gave test too.

Hello Adam! I love your YOUTUBE channel the way you teach is amazing, thanks a lot! I have a question regarding furthermore, can we say/write *****;and furthermore, **

thank you sir, you are a great teacher

10/10 Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this video lesson!

I leave the comment because there is one question I want to ask for your advice. I’m not sure whether I should use the transitional word “besides” with the following sentences: No matter how far we are apart from other people, we can still connect with our families and friends. Besides, you can search for plenty of information online.

Thank you once again for another valuable lesson.

1o/1o best regards,Adam Greetings from Kazakhstan o8 Dec2o21:)

Linking/transition words: Things you need to know...

All assignments are written in formal language.   You need to ensure that you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding alongside your ability to answer the question/solve the problem. 

Below are some ideas to help you to develop your structure and flow.

• Linking / transition words and phrases join ideas, sentences and paragraphs together. They should be used within sentences and to move from one idea to another (between sentences).   

These words and phrases indicate the direction, order and flow of ideas. Significantly, they strengthen the quality and structure of your work.

• Redundant Words - less is more.  P articularly when trying to reduce the word count, it is important to look for phrases which can be replaced with a single word.

Linking/Transition Words

Transitions link one main idea to another separated by a semi-colon or full-stop.  When the transition word is at the beginning of the sentence, it should be followed by a comma:

Among other functions, they can signal cause and effect or sequencing (see examples in the table below).

Linking words: conjunctions

Linking words within a sentence  are referred to as coordinating conjunctions.  Do not worry about the term: think about the function.

Conciseness / redundant words

Microsoft Word now has an additional feature within the Edito r - it is called conciseness or wordiness.  

• If you cannot see the Editor menu a quick tip is to hold down the function (fn key at the bottom left of the keyboard) + F7 (top line of keys).
• From the Refinements section - select Conciseness - if there are any suggestions a number will appear in the box alongside this option
• A dotted line will appear under any groups of groups
• Either select the identified text by clicking with your right mouse button OR click on the down down next to the Conciseness menu.
• MS Word will display any alternative words which you can either select and they will be replaced in your text or reject if you want to keep the original phrases.

Examples:  try to replace phrases with a single words which mean the same.

30+ Furthermore Synonyms

Walter Akolo

In writing and speech, the word furthermore is used as a conjunctive adverb. It ties together two sentences that have a connection by advancing the argument. As a transition word furthermore is defined as "an addition to what precedes."

When used correctly, furthermore helps make your writing easier to understand. But, like with any word, overusing furthermore will distract your reader and disrupt the flow of your writing. So what can you say instead?

To find the best synonyms, we need to make sure we know what we’re trying to say. Let’s expand on that definition a little.

What Does the Word Furthermore Mean?

• What Type of Word Is Furthermore?

How Do I Use Furthermore in a Sentence?

• What Can I Say Instead of Furthermore?
• What Is Another Way to Say Additionally?
• Does Moreover Mean Furthermore?

Make Your Writing Richer with These Furthermore Alternatives

Furthermore means the same as besides , moreover , or in addition . Initially used in the 13th century, this word ties statements, paragraphs, and thoughts together. In a text or essay, it’s used to show that the author or speaker is not done with what they are saying and is furthering their point using additional evidence.

What Type of Word Is Furthermore ?

Furthermore is an adverb. Adverbs modify the meaning of words and sentences. In this case, the adverb furthermore modifies the following sentence by marking it as a continuation of the idea from the sentence or point before it.

This changes the meaning of the sentence by asking you to consider other information alongside it.

Now that you know some related words to use for furthermore , how can you use furthermore in a sentence? Let’s look at some example sentences.

• My parents just moved into a nice house. We love it. Furthermore , it’s near my dad’s job.
• Our annual family summer trip to Paris is usually so much fun. Furthermore , it doesn’t cost us a lot of money.
• Most companies have now adopted the work-from-home model. This has improved productivity . Furthermore , employees can work from any location.
• We, furthermore , won’t include the personal contact information you share on your job application.
• I enjoy shopping at Jades’. Furthermore , I get the best bargain.
• Furthermore , the comments on my Instagram page have been very positive lately.

Is Furthermore a Formal Word?

Furthermore is most commonly used in formal writing like essays, reports, and presentations.

You’re unlikely to throw it into casual conversation, like when you’re ordering a coffee:

• "I would like an iced latte, please, and furthermore, I would like a croissant."

That sounds a little strange. In informal speech and writing, go for something like also .

• "I’d like a coffee, please, and also a croissant."

You can find some more informal synonyms for furthermore in the next section.

However, it’s important to note that some synonyms, such as on top of that , by the same token , and over and above that should really only be used in an informal setting. Despite this, they all have the same meaning and will provide support to your statement without too much repetition.

What Can I Say Instead of Furthermore ?

Chances are you’ll need to link points together more than once in a piece of writing. Switch out repeated instances of furthermore for some of these synonyms to keep your writing fresh:

Additionally

• What’s more

What Is Another Way to Say Additionally ?

If you struggle to remember what furthermore means, you can think of it as a synonym for additionally . But what if you have already used furthermore and additionally in your writing?

Here are even more synonyms for furthermore and additionally :

On top of that

• On top of everything else
• As well as that
• In addition to everything else
• By the same token
• Over and above that
• Not to mention
• On top of this
• In addition to this
• As well as this

What Are Some Synonyms of Furthermore in a Sentence?

When speaking or writing, it’s advisable to vary your words to communicate effectively. One way to do this is to use other words with the same meaning.

For instance, in an excerpt, you can mention furthermore two to three times and then use synonyms to support your message. Here are some examples of how you can use a furthermore synonym in your content.

• The music class will last for two hours this Friday. Additionally , it will include some group lessons.

Over and Above That

• Over and above that , our work performance has increased this past year.
• There are many ways to get there, but the train is the most used here. Besides the train, you can use the bus service for your trip tomorrow.

What’s More

• I can take you shopping tomorrow morning. What’s more , I know the best place to get a good bargain.

In Addition

• In addition , I forgot to bring my phone charger today.

The price of these shoes is reasonable. Moreover , the pair fits me very well.

• On top of that , I had to walk to the mall.

Varying your transitions is important—and so is using enough transitions. You should start around 25% of your sentences with a transition word to keep your ideas flowing smoothly.

Check you’re using enough transitions in your writing with ProWritingAid’s Transition Report .

You’ll see your transitions listed in the report panel so you can check you aren’t overusing certain words or transition types.

Does Moreover Mean Furthermore ?

Furthermore and moreover are interchangeably used as synonyms. The definition is similar. Moreover is also added to provide additional support to an argument.

When should you use moreover ? Unlike other furthermore synonyms, moreover is more authoritative and has a forceful tone. While furthermore is a continuation of what has been said, moreover is an intensifier.

Grammatically, the words furthermore and moreover can be used in place of one another. If you need to use them in the same paragraph, use moreover first and then furthermore .

Here are some examples:

• I think you should search for another house. Moreover , there are new apartments just across the street.
• Life has become very tough since I finished college I got divorced and everything in my house was stolen. Moreover , I lost my job, so I’m still looking for employment.

Is Furthermore a Complex Word?

Yes, it is. Furthermore is a conjunctive adverb. Therefore, when using it to connect two independent sentences, there’s a basic rule that you should follow.

If these two parts of text can independently stand separately, you’ll need to use a semicolon instead of a comma. The other alternative is to use a period right before the conjunctive phrase.

• Whitney Houston was a songwriter and singer; furthermore, she was one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

Since you can easily confuse what punctuation you should put before or after furthermore , it’s best to use our Grammar Report when proofreading your content. This will show you where you’ve made possible errors and how to correct them.

Here’s an example:

Furthermore is an important transition phrase in both writing and speech. For the text to make sense, use the term in the right place. Wrong placement of furthermore can alter the entire meaning and flow of a paragraph and lead to miscommunication.

When the text contains complex phrases, you can use furthermore to break it down into simpler sentences. When the information is split this way, the reader can concentrate much better. Long sentences can be too hard to read.

The term can also be placed either at the beginning or in the middle of the text. This way, it becomes easier to read.

Furthermore is a pretty vital word which makes it easy to overuse. Bookmark this article for when you need a reminder of all its alternatives.

Don’t forget, you can always use ProWritingAid’s Word Explorer for inspiration.

In addition…. Moreover…, and furthermore…!

All three of these conjunctive adverbs are used to indicate that you have something more to say than what you’ve just said.  They are a little like conversational traffic signs that say “Wait!  I’m not done yet!  I’ve got something more to say on this subject.”  Often, the three expressions are interchangeable.

JUST ADDING INFORMATION

 “In addition” might be said to be the most neutral and least assertive of the three expressions.  It’s used mainly just to add one piece of information on a subject to another piece of information on the same subject.  “Furthermore” does the same thing, but it is more emphatic in tone.  It sends out a little bit stronger signal to the listener or reader that says:  “Stay with me!  There is more that you need to know!”    

• The new state park will open next June with numerous hiking trails to explore.  In addition , a boat marina is being constructed at the north end of the lake.
• All residents are advised to evacuate the building.  Furthermore , they are advised not to return to their homes until city officials say it is safe to do so.
• India is one of the most populous countries of the world with three official languages and numerous others spoken.  Most of the population are adherents of Hinduism, though there is a large Muslim minority.  Furthermore , a small but significant percentage of Indians are Christians and Sikhs.

BEING PERSUASIVE

All three adverbs can be used when trying to persuade the reader or listener of something, to make one’s current argument stronger by adding additional supports.  However, “ furthermore ” and  “ moreover ” have a more forceful or authoritative tone than “ in addition ” and may therefore be preferred for bolstering one’s argument.  In the example below, the argument concerns the need to exercise more.  The second sentence gives two supporting statements for this argument, and the sentence beginning with “furthermore” gives yet another one.

• It’s clear that we all need to exercise more:  Exercise improves one’s strength and can reduce one’s risk of chronic disease.  Furthermore , new evidence is suggesting that it is important for one’s mental fitness as well.

The word “moreover” is the most assertive in tone of the three adverbs and may suggest that what follows carries more weight than what the speaker has just said before.  The information in the statement may be something that the speaker feels strongly about or is something that will likely surprise the listener or make a strong impact.  Additionally, the statement introduced by “moreover” tends to contain a different kind of information from what has come before.  “Furthermore,” on the other hand, simply signals that one is about to say something that will give additional support for one’s argument.  It may be information along the same lines or it may be information of a different type.

• I don’t agree that she’s overrated as a singer.  Moreover , I think you’re just jealous of her talent!
• I’m not surprised they’re firing him.  His work is substandard, and his attitude is poor; moreover , he’s always late to meetings.
• There was no way they could have won the battle.  They were outnumbered by thousands of enemy troops.  They were exhausted and demoralized from earlier fighting.  Furthermore , they were insufficiently armed.

Because of their assertive or authoritative nature, the adverbs “moreover” and “furthermore” tend to be used more often in heated arguments, fiery speeches, and in scolding than the more neutral expression “in addition.”  One can easily imagine hearing “moreover” and “furthermore” during a hard-hitting debate or, say, when a school principal or instructor scolds a group of students for unacceptable behavior.

• Your deplorable behavior toward this boy will be punished, and, furthermore , you will have to have to apologize both to the boy and his parents.
• I will accept no more late papers in this class.   Moreover , students who are not in their seats when class begins will be marked absent.

In speaking, both “moreover” and “furthermore” tend to be pronounced with strong emphasis.  The words are pronounced slightly louder and with higher pitch (on their stressed syllable) than the words coming before or after them.  The expression “in addition” may or may not be pronounced with strong emphasis.

The three expressions being discussed here can all be used in an extension of the same discussion or argument.  It simply depends on how many additional pieces of information or supports one wants to provide in making one’s point or covering a small topic.  In general, however, whenever “furthermore” is used in conjunction with either or both of the others, it tends to introduce the final element.  In fact, “furthermore,” whenever it is used, tends to bring with it the final piece of information on a subject or final point of an argument.  One can image a lengthy argument that goes like this:

• Blah, blah, blah.  Blah, blah, blah….  Moreover , blah, blah, blah…  And, furthermore , blah, blah, blah.

Now that’s a compelling argument!

Finally, all three expressions share a certain formality of tone. “In addition” and “furthermore,” in particular, have a rather academic or official sound to them.  While all three certainly can be used in informal conversation, they are more often used in relatively formal writing and speaking.  In informal speaking, the expression “not only that, but…” serves the same function as “moreover,” and a strongly stressed “also” at the beginning of one’s sentence can serve the function of any of the three.  The expression “plus” is also gaining ground as an even more informal and emphatic alternative to “also.”

5 Examples of Concluding Words for Essays

4-minute read

• 19th September 2022

If you’re a student writing an essay or research paper, it’s important to make sure your points flow together well. You’ll want to use connecting words (known formally as transition signals) to do this. Transition signals like thus , also , and furthermore link different ideas, and when you get to the end of your work, you need to use these to mark your conclusion. Read on to learn more about transition signals and how to use them to conclude your essays.

Transition Signals

Transition signals link sentences together cohesively, enabling easy reading and comprehension. They are usually placed at the beginning of a sentence and separated from the remaining words with a comma. There are several types of transition signals, including those to:

●  show the order of a sequence of events (e.g., first, then, next)

●  introduce an example (e.g., specifically, for instance)

●  indicate a contrasting idea (e.g., but, however, although)

●  present an additional idea (e.g., also, in addition, plus)

●  indicate time (e.g., beforehand, meanwhile, later)

●  compare (e.g., likewise, similarly)

●  show cause and effect (e.g., thus, as a result)

●  mark the conclusion – which we’ll focus on in this guide.

When you reach the end of an essay, you should start the concluding paragraph with a transition signal that acts as a bridge to the summary of your key points. Check out some concluding transition signals below and learn how you can use them in your writing.

To Conclude…

This is a particularly versatile closing statement that can be used for almost any kind of essay, including both formal and informal academic writing. It signals to the reader that you will briefly restate the main idea. As an alternative, you can begin the summary with “to close” or “in conclusion.” In an argumentative piece, you can use this phrase to indicate a call to action or opinion:

To conclude, Abraham Lincoln was the best president because he abolished slavery.

As Has Been Demonstrated…

To describe how the evidence presented in your essay supports your argument or main idea, begin the concluding paragraph with “as has been demonstrated.” This phrase is best used for research papers or articles with heavy empirical or statistical evidence.

As has been demonstrated by the study presented above, human activities are negatively altering the climate system.

The Above Points Illustrate…

As another transitional phrase for formal or academic work, “the above points illustrate” indicates that you are reiterating your argument and that the conclusion will include an assessment of the evidence you’ve presented.

The above points illustrate that children prefer chocolate over broccoli.

In a Nutshell…

A simple and informal metaphor to begin a conclusion, “in a nutshell” prepares the reader for a summary of your paper. It can work in narratives and speeches but should be avoided in formal situations.

In a nutshell, the Beatles had an impact on musicians for generations to come.

Overall, It Can Be Said…

To recap an idea at the end of a critical or descriptive essay, you can use this phrase at the beginning of the concluding paragraph. “Overall” means “taking everything into account,” and it sums up your essay in a formal way. You can use “overall” on its own as a transition signal, or you can use it as part of a phrase.

Overall, it can be said that art has had a positive impact on humanity.

Further Or Furthermore? Here’s The Correct Usage (+14 Examples)

While you might not notice a glaring difference between further or furthermore, you might be surprised to hear there is an obvious one. The two words are not interchangeable, even though they both start with “further.” Let’s find out why.

Is It Further Or Furthermore?

Further should be used when extending your point from a previous argument already made. Furthermore should be used when you’re introducing a new argument. Further is used in the middle of a sentence, while furthermore is used at the start of a sentence.

What Does Further Mean?

“Further” is used to continue a point you’ve previously made. We make use of “further” in writing (primarily formal tone), and we use it when we want to elaborate on a point.

Generally, the point is made already. That’s why we put “further” in the middle of a sentence. We can put it at the start, but we must make the following sentence directly linked to the one before.

If you ever try to start a sentence with “further,” you’ll leave your readers wondering what you’re furthering on from (unless you make it apparent with the following sentence). This means that if there isn’t a direct point you made in the previous section, you’re using “further” in a grammatically incorrect sense and will only end up confusing your readers over the intended effect.

What Does Furthermore Mean?

Furthermore is used to introduce a new idea that hasn’t already been made. Even if that idea is closely related to a previous one, if it’s still a new idea, “furthermore” is the correct word to use.

“Furthermore” is used at the start of a sentence because you’re putting a new idea forward. You can’t use furthermore in the middle of a sentence because it shouldn’t be a follow-on from the previous point made.

If you ever find yourself writing “furthermore” in the middle of the sentence, it’s often because you haven’t finished your point correctly or are misusing it. It’ll confuse many readers because you’re supposed to start a new reasoning altogether when you use “furthermore.” Make sure it always comes at the start of a sentence and nowhere else.

Should You Use Further Or Furthermore At The Beginning Of A Sentence?

We’ve already explained the significant differences between the two words, but there’s still a bit of confusion between which one goes where.

Both “further” and “furthermore” can be used at the beginning of a sentence. “Furthermore” is always used at the beginning, but “further” is only used when the sentence directly following it links to the previous sentence.

• Furthermore, this business isn’t just about you.
• Further to the point we made previously…

Sometimes, you’ll see “further” used at the start of a sentence in the way we show you above. This is only the case when the sentence after it follows on from the previous one. Usually, “furthermore” is the correct choice if we’re going to put either of the words at the beginning of a sentence. However, it might make more sense to use “further.”

Check to see whether you’re following on from a previous point or starting a new one before you decide between the two.

Should You Use A Comma After Further?

When we’re using “further,” we never need to write a comma after the word. That’s because it doesn’t set itself up as its own clause. We always need to elaborate our point more when we use “further,” meaning a comma won’t work after it.

“Further” needs further explanation before we can finish the clause.

The above is a good little tip to remember whether you put a comma at the end or not. Since we only put a comma after a word when the clause has already been completed, we know that “further” needs an explanation before we can think about breaking up the sentence.

Should You Use A Comma After Furthermore?

The opposite can be said about “furthermore,” though. We often use “furthermore” as an introduction to a new point, and it works as a standalone clause because people know what to expect from the word “furthermore.” If you use “furthermore,” always follow it with a comma. If you don’t, you’ll find that your sentence doesn’t flow correctly.

Furthermore begins a new point and stands alone. That’s why we need to put a comma directly after it to separate our clauses effectively.

There are some occasions where you might put furthermore after a semi-colon (when you don’t quite want to end a sentence but still want to start a new point). However, even in these cases, we need to include a comma after “furthermore” because it starts a new clause.

7 Examples Of How To Use “Further” In A Sentence

We can talk to you all day about the differences between the two words. However, the easiest way to learn how they work in different situations is to see them in action. We’ve put together some examples to do precisely that for you. Make sure you read the sentences through in their entirety so you can tell how each one works.

• Further to the point we made previously, high streets are losing business as internet shopping increases.
• He researched further into the matter before making his decision.
• Without further delay, we’d like to introduce you to the newest member of the team.
• One mistake was bad enough. They were further annoyed by his second mistake, though.
• We can keep the leftovers stored for further events.
• Before I can determine the cause of this injury, I need further information.
• Our house is further away than you might realize.

There are a few different ways to use “further” in a sentence, but in no situation is it possible to replace it with “furthermore.” As we’ve previously stated, the two words are not interchangeable. You can’t use either one over the other, which is why it’s important to know which one to use when.

7 Examples Of How To Use “Furthermore” In A Sentence

We can use “furthermore” when we’re starting a new point and trying to develop it separately from what came before. Usually, we’d use it in a formal setting (most likely an essay), where we’re trying to explain a point that might not directly correlate with everything we’ve already written about.

• Furthermore, this is a business where people need time to relax.
• Furthermore, a lot needs to be done to fix the world that we live in.
• Furthermore, we can’t keep ignoring the obvious side effects of these drugs.
• Furthermore, people will keep protesting the problems until they are solved.
• Furthermore, ice cream ranked higher than chocolate on a survey of student’s favorite treats.
• Furthermore, dog breeds can’t be ranked by anything other than popularity, as every dog is different.
• Furthermore, you get what you’re given.

See how in each of these examples, we can only start the sentence with “furthermore.” That’s because we’re introducing a new point. If you’ve learned about grammar rules in any language, then you’ll know that new sentences are started when a new point begins.

Further – Synonyms

Let’s look at some alternatives to the two words as well. We’ll start with “further” so you can see how you might write it. These are a good way to practice your language skills and expand your vocabulary list.

• Additionally

We’re looking to add to our previously stated fact or opinion. That’s why “additionally” is a good replacement for “further.” Both words have the same meaning and are both used to the same degree in formal writing.

• To a greater extent

If you want to further stress the point by making a greater point, this saying will work well. However, this is strictly reserved for formal situations and shouldn’t be used in informal ones.

Again, we’re looking to cover a point that’s already been listed. “Moreso” allows us to develop a point in the same way as “further.”

Furthermore – Synonyms

“Furthermore” has synonyms that work on developing a new point in much the same way. We can use any of these alternatives in place of “furthermore.”

While this is designed to link loosely back to the previous point, the idea is that we’re adding on some new information that wouldn’t otherwise be mentioned.

• By the same token

Similarly to “moreover,” we use this phrase when we’re wanting to add more to a point while also starting a new trail of thought. It’s a common thing to do in a lot of informal writing styles.

Quiz: Have You Mastered The Further Or Furthermore Grammar?

Finally, let’s see how you do with a quiz to determine which of the words should be used in what context! We’ll include the answers at the end for you to look at.

• (A. further / B. furthermore), you need to be a certain height before riding rollercoasters.
• To (A. further / B. furthermore) my career, I need to get more qualifications.
• (A. further / B. furthermore) to what has already been said, you can’t keep fighting against resistance without a problem.
• (A. further / B. furthermore), some things aren’t designed to be fixed.
• To help (A. further / B. furthermore) my point, I refer you to image 1.

To be truly brilliant, an essay needs to utilise the right language. You could make a great point, but if it’s not intelligently articulated, you almost needn’t have bothered.

Developing the language skills to build an argument and to write persuasively is crucial if you’re to write outstanding essays every time. In this article, we’re going to equip you with the words and phrases you need to write a top-notch essay, along with examples of how to utilise them.

It’s by no means an exhaustive list, and there will often be other ways of using the words and phrases we describe that we won’t have room to include, but there should be more than enough below to help you make an instant improvement to your essay-writing skills.

General explaining

Let’s start by looking at language for general explanations of complex points.

1. In order to

Usage: “In order to” can be used to introduce an explanation for the purpose of an argument. Example: “In order to understand X, we need first to understand Y.”

2. In other words

Usage: Use “in other words” when you want to express something in a different way (more simply), to make it easier to understand, or to emphasise or expand on a point. Example: “Frogs are amphibians. In other words, they live on the land and in the water.”

3. To put it another way

Usage: This phrase is another way of saying “in other words”, and can be used in particularly complex points, when you feel that an alternative way of wording a problem may help the reader achieve a better understanding of its significance. Example: “Plants rely on photosynthesis. To put it another way, they will die without the sun.”

4. That is to say

Usage: “That is” and “that is to say” can be used to add further detail to your explanation, or to be more precise. Example: “Whales are mammals. That is to say, they must breathe air.”

5. To that end

Usage: Use “to that end” or “to this end” in a similar way to “in order to” or “so”. Example: “Zoologists have long sought to understand how animals communicate with each other. To that end, a new study has been launched that looks at elephant sounds and their possible meanings.”

Adding additional information to support a point

Students often make the mistake of using synonyms of “and” each time they want to add further information in support of a point they’re making, or to build an argument . Here are some cleverer ways of doing this.

6. Moreover

Usage: Employ “moreover” at the start of a sentence to add extra information in support of a point you’re making. Example: “Moreover, the results of a recent piece of research provide compelling evidence in support of…”

7. Furthermore

Usage:This is also generally used at the start of a sentence, to add extra information. Example: “Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that…”

8. What’s more

Usage: This is used in the same way as “moreover” and “furthermore”. Example: “What’s more, this isn’t the only evidence that supports this hypothesis.”

9. Likewise

Usage: Use “likewise” when you want to talk about something that agrees with what you’ve just mentioned. Example: “Scholar A believes X. Likewise, Scholar B argues compellingly in favour of this point of view.”

10. Similarly

Usage: Use “similarly” in the same way as “likewise”. Example: “Audiences at the time reacted with shock to Beethoven’s new work, because it was very different to what they were used to. Similarly, we have a tendency to react with surprise to the unfamiliar.”

11. Another key thing to remember

Usage: Use the phrase “another key point to remember” or “another key fact to remember” to introduce additional facts without using the word “also”. Example: “As a Romantic, Blake was a proponent of a closer relationship between humans and nature. Another key point to remember is that Blake was writing during the Industrial Revolution, which had a major impact on the world around him.”

12. As well as

Usage: Use “as well as” instead of “also” or “and”. Example: “Scholar A argued that this was due to X, as well as Y.”

13. Not only… but also

Usage: This wording is used to add an extra piece of information, often something that’s in some way more surprising or unexpected than the first piece of information. Example: “Not only did Edmund Hillary have the honour of being the first to reach the summit of Everest, but he was also appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.”

14. Coupled with

Usage: Used when considering two or more arguments at a time. Example: “Coupled with the literary evidence, the statistics paint a compelling view of…”

15. Firstly, secondly, thirdly…

Usage: This can be used to structure an argument, presenting facts clearly one after the other. Example: “There are many points in support of this view. Firstly, X. Secondly, Y. And thirdly, Z.

16. Not to mention/to say nothing of

Usage: “Not to mention” and “to say nothing of” can be used to add extra information with a bit of emphasis. Example: “The war caused unprecedented suffering to millions of people, not to mention its impact on the country’s economy.”

Words and phrases for demonstrating contrast

When you’re developing an argument, you will often need to present contrasting or opposing opinions or evidence – “it could show this, but it could also show this”, or “X says this, but Y disagrees”. This section covers words you can use instead of the “but” in these examples, to make your writing sound more intelligent and interesting.

17. However

Usage: Use “however” to introduce a point that disagrees with what you’ve just said. Example: “Scholar A thinks this. However, Scholar B reached a different conclusion.”

18. On the other hand

Usage: Usage of this phrase includes introducing a contrasting interpretation of the same piece of evidence, a different piece of evidence that suggests something else, or an opposing opinion. Example: “The historical evidence appears to suggest a clear-cut situation. On the other hand, the archaeological evidence presents a somewhat less straightforward picture of what happened that day.”

19. Having said that

Usage: Used in a similar manner to “on the other hand” or “but”. Example: “The historians are unanimous in telling us X, an agreement that suggests that this version of events must be an accurate account. Having said that, the archaeology tells a different story.”

20. By contrast/in comparison

Usage: Use “by contrast” or “in comparison” when you’re comparing and contrasting pieces of evidence. Example: “Scholar A’s opinion, then, is based on insufficient evidence. By contrast, Scholar B’s opinion seems more plausible.”

21. Then again

Usage: Use this to cast doubt on an assertion. Example: “Writer A asserts that this was the reason for what happened. Then again, it’s possible that he was being paid to say this.”

22. That said

Usage: This is used in the same way as “then again”. Example: “The evidence ostensibly appears to point to this conclusion. That said, much of the evidence is unreliable at best.”

Usage: Use this when you want to introduce a contrasting idea. Example: “Much of scholarship has focused on this evidence. Yet not everyone agrees that this is the most important aspect of the situation.”

Adding a proviso or acknowledging reservations

Sometimes, you may need to acknowledge a shortfalling in a piece of evidence, or add a proviso. Here are some ways of doing so.

24. Despite this

Usage: Use “despite this” or “in spite of this” when you want to outline a point that stands regardless of a shortfalling in the evidence. Example: “The sample size was small, but the results were important despite this.”

25. With this in mind

Usage: Use this when you want your reader to consider a point in the knowledge of something else. Example: “We’ve seen that the methods used in the 19th century study did not always live up to the rigorous standards expected in scientific research today, which makes it difficult to draw definite conclusions. With this in mind, let’s look at a more recent study to see how the results compare.”

26. Provided that

Usage: This means “on condition that”. You can also say “providing that” or just “providing” to mean the same thing. Example: “We may use this as evidence to support our argument, provided that we bear in mind the limitations of the methods used to obtain it.”

27. In view of/in light of

Usage: These phrases are used when something has shed light on something else. Example: “In light of the evidence from the 2013 study, we have a better understanding of…”

28. Nonetheless

Usage: This is similar to “despite this”. Example: “The study had its limitations, but it was nonetheless groundbreaking for its day.”

29. Nevertheless

Usage: This is the same as “nonetheless”. Example: “The study was flawed, but it was important nevertheless.”

30. Notwithstanding

Usage: This is another way of saying “nonetheless”. Example: “Notwithstanding the limitations of the methodology used, it was an important study in the development of how we view the workings of the human mind.”

Giving examples

Good essays always back up points with examples, but it’s going to get boring if you use the expression “for example” every time. Here are a couple of other ways of saying the same thing.

31. For instance

Example: “Some birds migrate to avoid harsher winter climates. Swallows, for instance, leave the UK in early winter and fly south…”

32. To give an illustration

Example: “To give an illustration of what I mean, let’s look at the case of…”

Signifying importance

When you want to demonstrate that a point is particularly important, there are several ways of highlighting it as such.

33. Significantly

Usage: Used to introduce a point that is loaded with meaning that might not be immediately apparent. Example: “Significantly, Tacitus omits to tell us the kind of gossip prevalent in Suetonius’ accounts of the same period.”

34. Notably

Usage: This can be used to mean “significantly” (as above), and it can also be used interchangeably with “in particular” (the example below demonstrates the first of these ways of using it). Example: “Actual figures are notably absent from Scholar A’s analysis.”

35. Importantly

Usage: Use “importantly” interchangeably with “significantly”. Example: “Importantly, Scholar A was being employed by X when he wrote this work, and was presumably therefore under pressure to portray the situation more favourably than he perhaps might otherwise have done.”

Summarising

You’ve almost made it to the end of the essay, but your work isn’t over yet. You need to end by wrapping up everything you’ve talked about, showing that you’ve considered the arguments on both sides and reached the most likely conclusion. Here are some words and phrases to help you.

36. In conclusion

Usage: Typically used to introduce the concluding paragraph or sentence of an essay, summarising what you’ve discussed in a broad overview. Example: “In conclusion, the evidence points almost exclusively to Argument A.”

37. Above all

Usage: Used to signify what you believe to be the most significant point, and the main takeaway from the essay. Example: “Above all, it seems pertinent to remember that…”

38. Persuasive

Usage: This is a useful word to use when summarising which argument you find most convincing. Example: “Scholar A’s point – that Constanze Mozart was motivated by financial gain – seems to me to be the most persuasive argument for her actions following Mozart’s death.”

39. Compelling

Usage: Use in the same way as “persuasive” above. Example: “The most compelling argument is presented by Scholar A.”

40. All things considered

Usage: This means “taking everything into account”. Example: “All things considered, it seems reasonable to assume that…”

List of Ways to Say ‘In Conclusion’ in an Essay

The following are the best tips I have for to say in conclusion in an essay.

1. The Weight of the Evidence Suggests…

My Rating: 10/10

Overview: This is a good concluding phrase for an evaluative essay where you need to compare two different positions on a topic then conclude by saying which one has more evidence behind it than the other.

You could also use this phrase for argumentative essays where you’ve put forward all the evidence for your particular case.

Example: “The weight of the evidence suggests that climate change is a real phenomenon.”

2. A Thoughtful Analysis would Conclude…

My Rating: 9/10

Overview: I would use this phrase in either an argumentative essay or a comparison essay. As an argument, it highlights that you think your position is the most logical.

In a comparison essay, it shows that you have (or have intended to) thoughtfully explore the issue by looking at both sides.

Example: “A thoughtful analysis would conclude that there is substantial evidence highlighting that climate change is real.”

3. A Balanced Assessment of the Above Information…

Overview: This phrase can be used to show that you have made a thoughtful analysis of the information you found when researching the essay. You’re telling your teacher with this phrase that you have looked at all sides of the argument before coming to your conclusion.

Example: “A balanced assessment of the above information would be that climate change exists and will have a strong impact on the world for centuries to come.”

4. Across the Board…

My Rating: 5/10

Overview: I would use this phrase in a less formal context such as in a creative discussion but would leave it out of a formal third-person essay. To me, the phrase comes across as too colloquial.

Example: “Across the board, there are scientists around the world who consistently provide evidence for human-induced climate change.”

5. Logically…

My Rating: 7/10

Overview: This phrase can be used at the beginning of any paragraph that states out a series of facts that will be backed by clear step-by-step explanations that the reader should be able to follow to a conclusion.

Example: “Logically, the rise of the automobile would speed up economic expansion in the United States. Automobiles allowed goods to flow faster around the economy.

6. After all is Said and Done…

Overview: This is a colloquial term that is more useful in a speech than written text. If you feel that the phrase ‘In conclusion,’ is too basic, then I’d also avoid this term. However, use in speech is common, so if you’re giving a speech, it may be more acceptable.

Example: “After all is said and done, it’s clear that there is more evidence to suggest that climate change is real than a hoax.”

7. All in All…

Overview: ‘All in all’ is a colloquial term that I would use in speech but not in formal academic writing. Colloquialisms can show that you have poor command of the English language. However, I would consider using this phrase in the conclusion of a debate.

Example: “All in all, our debate team has shown that there is insurmountable evidence that our side of the argument is correct.”

8. All Things Considered…

My Rating: 6/10

Overview: This term is a good way of saying ‘I have considered everything above and now my conclusion is..’ However, it is another term that’s more commonly used in speech than writing. Use it in a high school debate, but when it comes to a formal essay, I would leave it out.

Example: “All things considered, there’s no doubt in my mind that climate change is man-made.”

9. As a Final Note…

My Rating: 3/10

Overview: This phrase gives me the impression that the student doesn’t understand the point of a conclusion. It’s not to simply make a ‘final note’, but to summarize and reiterate. So, I would personally avoid this one.

Example: “As a final note, I would say that I do think the automobile was one of the greatest inventions of the 20 th Century.”

10. As Already Stated…

My Rating: 2/10

Overview: I don’t like this phrase. It gives teachers the impression that you’re going around in circles and haven’t organized your essay properly. I would particularly avoid it in the body of an essay because I always think: “If you already stated it, why are you stating it again?” Of course, the conclusion does re-state things, but it also adds value because it also summarizes them. So, add value by using a phrase such as ‘summarizing’ or ‘weighing up’ in your conclusion instead.

Example: “As already stated, I’m going to repeat myself and annoy my teacher.”

11. At present, the Best Evidence Suggests…

My Rating: 8/10

Overview: In essays where the evidence may change in the future. Most fields of study do involve some evolution over time, so this phrase acknowledges that “right now” the best evidence is one thing, but it may change in the future. It also shows that you’ve looked at the latest information on the topic.

Example: “At present, the best evidence suggests that carbon dioxide emissions from power plants is the greatest influence on climate change.”

12. At the Core of the Issue…

Overview: I personally find this phrase to be useful for most essays. It highlights that you are able to identify the most important or central point from everything you have examined. It is slightly less formal than some other phrases on this list, but I also wouldn’t consider it too colloquial for an undergraduate essay.

Example: “At the core of the issue in this essay is the fact scientists have been unable to convince the broader public of the importance of action on climate change.”

13. Despite the shortcomings of…

Overview: This phrase can be useful in an argumentative essay. It shows that there are some limitations to your argument, but , on balance you still think your position is the best. This will allow you to show critical insight and knowledge while coming to your conclusion.

Often, my students make the mistake of thinking they can only take one side in an argumentative essay. On the contrary, you should be able to highlight the limitations of your point-of-view while also stating that it’s the best.

Example: “Despite the shortcomings of globalization, this essay has found that on balance it has been good for many areas in both the developed and developing world.”

14. Finally…

My Rating: 4/10

Overview: While the phrase ‘Finally,’ does indicate that you’re coming to the end of your discussion, it is usually used at the end of a list of ideas rather than in a conclusion. It also implies that you’re adding a point rather that summing up previous points you have made.

Example: “Finally, this essay has highlighted the importance of communication between policy makers and practitioners in order to ensure good policy is put into effect.”

15. Gathering the above points together…

Overview: While this is not a phrase I personally use very often, I do believe it has the effect of indicating that you are “summing up”, which is what you want out of a conclusion.

Example: “Gathering the above points together, it is clear that the weight of evidence highlights the importance of action on climate change.”

16. Given the above information…

Overview: This phrase shows that you are considering the information in the body of the piece when coming to your conclusion. Therefore, I believe it is appropriate for starting a conclusion.

Example: “Given the above information, it is reasonable to conclude that the World Health Organization is an appropriate vehicle for achieving improved health outcomes in the developing world.”

17. In a nutshell…

Overview: This phrase means to say everything in the fewest possible words. However, it is a colloquial phrase that is best used in speech rather than formal academic writing.

Example: “In a nutshell, there are valid arguments on both sides of the debate about socialism vs capitalism.”

18. In closing…

Overview: This phrase is an appropriate synonym for ‘In conclusion’ and I would be perfectly fine with a student using this phrase in their essay. Make sure you follow-up by explaining your position based upon the weight of evidence presented in the body of your piece

Example: “In closing, there is ample evidence to suggest that liberalism has been the greatest force for progress in the past 100 years.”

19. In essence…

Overview: While the phrase ‘In essence’ does suggest you are about to sum up the core findings of your discussion, it is somewhat colloquial and is best left for speech rather than formal academic writing.

Example: “In essence, this essay has shown that cattle farming is an industry that should be protected as an essential service for our country.”

20. In review…

Overview: We usually review someone else’s work, not our own. For example, you could review a book that you read or a film you watched. So, writing “In review” as a replacement for “In conclusion” comes across a little awkward.

Example: “In review, the above information has made a compelling case for compulsory military service in the United States.”

21. In short…

Overview: Personally, I find that this phrase is used more regularly by undergraduate student. As students get more confident with their writing, they tend to use higher-rated phrases from this list. Nevertheless, I would not take grades away from a student for using this phrase.

Example: “In short, this essay has shown the importance of sustainable agriculture for securing a healthy future for our nation.”

22. In Sum…

Overview: Short for “In summary”, the phrase “In sum” sufficiently shows that you are not coming to the moment where you will sum up the essay. It is an appropriate phrase to use instead of “In conclusion”.

But remember to not just summarize but also discuss the implications of your findings in your conclusion.

Example: “In sum, this essay has shown the importance of managers in ensuring efficient operation of medium-to-large enterprises.”

23. In Summary…

Overview: In summary and in sum are the same terms which can be supplemented for “In conclusion”. You will show that you are about to summarize the points you said in the body of the essay, which is what you want from an essay.

Example: “In summary, reflection is a very important metacognitive skill that all teachers need to master in order to improve their pedagogical skills.”

24. It cannot be conclusively stated that…

Overview: While this phrase is not always be a good fit for your essay, when it is, it does show knowledge and skill in writing. You would use this phrase if you are writing an expository essay where you have decided that there is not enough evidence currently to make a firm conclusion on the issue.

Example: “It cannot be conclusively stated that the Big Bang was when the universe began. However, it is the best theory so far, and none of the other theories explored in this essay have as much evidence behind them.”

25. It is apparent that…

Overview: The term ‘ apparent ’ means that something is ‘clear’ or even ‘obvious’. So, you would use this word in an argumentative essay where you think you have put forward a very compelling argument.

Example: “It is apparent that current migration patterns in the Americas are unsustainable and causing significant harm to the most vulnerable people in our society.”

26. Last but not least…

Overview: The phrase “last but not least” is a colloquial idiom that is best used in speech rather than formal academic writing. Furthermore, when you are saying ‘last’, you mean to say you’re making your last point rather than summing up all your points you already made. So, I’d avoid this one.

Example: “Last but not least, this essay has highlighted the importance of empowering patients to exercise choice over their own medical decisions.”

27. Overall…

My Rating: 7.5/10

Overview: This phrase means ‘taking everything into account’, which sounds a lot like what you would want to do in an essay. I don’t consider it to be a top-tier choice (which is why I rated it 7), but in my opinion it is perfectly acceptable to use in an undergraduate essay.

Example: “Overall, religious liberty continues to be threatened across the world, and faces significant threats in the 21 st Century.”

28. The above points illustrate…

Overview: This phrase is a good start to a conclusion paragraph that talks about the implications of the points you made in your essay. Follow it up with a statement that defends your thesis you are putting forward in the essay.

Example: “The above points illustrate that art has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on humanity since the renaissance.”

29. The evidence presented in this essay suggests that…

Overview: I like this phrase because it highlights that you are about to gather together the evidence from the body of the essay to put forward a final thesis statement .

Example: “The evidence presented in this essay suggests that the democratic system of government is the best for securing maximum individual liberty for citizens of a nation.”

30. This essay began by stating…

Overview: This phrase is one that I teach in my YouTube mini-course as an effective one to use in an essay conclusion. If you presented an interesting fact in your introduction , you can return to that point from the beginning of the essay to provide nice symmetry in your writing.

Example: “This essay began by stating that corruption has been growing in the Western world. However, the facts collected in the body of the essay show that institutional checks and balances can sufficiently minimize this corruption in the long-term.”

31. This essay has argued…

Overview: This term can be used effectively in an argumentative essay to provide a summary of your key points. Follow it up with an outline of all your key points, and then a sentence about the implications of the points you made. See the example below.

Example: “This essay has argued that standardized tests are damaging for students’ mental health. Tests like the SATs should therefore be replaced by project-based testing in schools.”

32. To close…

Overview: This is a very literal way of saying “In conclusion”. While it’s suitable and serves its purpose, it does come across as being a sophomoric term. Consider using one of the higher-rated phrases in this list.

Example: “To close, this essay has highlighted both the pros and cons of relational dialectics theory and argued that it is not the best communication theory for the 21 st Century.”

33. To Conclude…

Overview: Like ‘to close’ and ‘in summary’, the phrase ‘to conclude’ is very similar to ‘in conclusion’. It can therefore be used as a sufficient replacement for that term. However, as with the above terms, it’s just okay and you could probably find a better phrase to use.

Example: “To conclude, this essay has highlighted that there are multiple models of communication but there is no one perfect theory to explain each situation.”

34. To make a long story short…

My Rating: 1/10

Overview: This is not a good phrase to use in an academic essay. It is a colloquialism. It also implies that you have been rambling in your writing and you could have said everything more efficiently. I would personally not use this phrase.

Example: “To make a long story short, I don’t have very good command of academic language.”

35. To Sum up…

Overview: This phrase is the same as ‘In summary’. It shows that you have made all of your points and now you’re about to bring them all together in a ‘summary’. Just remember in your conclusion that you need to do more than summarize but also talk about the implications of your findings. So you’ll need to go beyond just a summary.

Example: “In summary, there is ample evidence that linear models of communication like Lasswell’s model are not as good at explaining 21 st Century communication as circular models like the Osgood-Schramm model .”

36. Ultimately…

Overview: While this phrase does say that you are coming to a final point – also known as a conclusion – it’s also a very strong statement that might not be best to use in all situations. I usually accept this phrase from my undergraduates, but for my postgraduates I’d probably suggest simply removing it.

Example: “Ultimately, new media has been bad for the world because it has led to the spread of mistruths around the internet.”

37. Undoubtedly…

Overview: If you are using it in a debate or argumentative essay, it can be helpful. However, in a regular academic essay, I would avoid it. We call this a ‘booster’, which is a term that emphasizes certainty. Unfortunately, certainty is a difficult thing to claim, so you’re better off ‘hedging’ with phrases like ‘It appears’ or ‘The best evidence suggests’.

Example: “Undoubtedly, I know everything about this topic and am one hundred percent certain even though I’m just an undergraduate student.”

38. Weighing up the facts, this essay finds…

Overview: This statement highlights that you are looking at all of the facts both for and against your points of view. It shows you’re not just blindly following one argument but being careful about seeing things from many perspectives.

Example: “Weighing up the facts, this essay finds that reading books is important for developing critical thinking skills in childhood.”

39. With that said…

Overview: This is another phrase that I would avoid. This is a colloquialism that’s best used in speech rather than writing. It is another term that feels sophomoric and is best to avoid. Instead, use a more formal term such as: ‘Weighing up the above points, this essay finds…’

Example: “With that said, this essay disagrees with the statement that you need to go to college to get a good job.”

Do you Need to Say Anything?

Something I often tell my students is: “Can you just remove that phrase?”

Consider this sentence:

• “In conclusion, the majority of scientists concur that climate change exists.”

Would it be possible to simply say:

• “ In conclusion, The majority of scientists concur that climate change exists.”

So, I’d recommend also just considering removing that phrase altogether! Sometimes the best writing is the shortest, simplest writing that gets to the point without any redundant language at all.

How to Write an Effective Conclusion

Before I go, I’d like to bring your attention to my video on ‘how to write an effective conclusion’. I think it would really help you out given that you’re looking for help on how to write a conclusion. It’s under 5 minutes long and has helped literally thousands of students write better conclusions for their essays:

You can also check out these conclusion examples for some copy-and-paste conclusions for your own essay.

In Conclusion…

Well, I had to begin this conclusion with ‘In conclusion…’ I liked the irony in it, and I couldn’t pass up that chance.

Overall, don’t forget that concluding an essay is a way to powerfully summarize what you’ve had to say and leave the reader with a strong impression that you’ve become an authority on the topic you’re researching. 

So, whether you write it as a conclusion, summary, or any other synonym for conclusion, those other ways to say in conclusion are less important than making sure that the message in your conclusion is incredibly strong.

Do You Want a ‘Unified Reich’ Mind-Set in the White House?

By David Austin Walsh

Dr. Walsh is a postdoctoral associate at the Yale program for the study of antisemitism and the author of “Taking America Back: The Conservative Movement and the Far Right.”

It is hard to be shocked by Donald Trump anymore. The former president’s trial over hush money paid to a porn star has made history, and his performance in court has been so farcical that Mr. Trump was threatened with jail time for contempt of court. He has called his political enemies “vermin” and said that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America. Mr. Trump’s transgressions against American political norms are by now almost a cliché.

Yet when Mr. Trump posted on Monday a video on his Truth Social account that featured mock headlines about his re-election in 2024, including one that predicted that “what’s next for America” was the “creation of a unified reich,” it was a shock of a different order, a suggestion that our country was on a glide path toward Nazi Germany in a second Trump term.

Mr. Trump’s penchant for flirting with authoritarianism and fascism is well known — he praised the neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, has dined with the white supremacist Nick Fuentes and, of course, instigated the Jan. 6 riot. But the “unified reich” video shows a different kind of danger in another Trump presidency.

The Associated Press reported that the references in the video “appear to be a reference to the formation of the modern Pan-German nation, unifying smaller states into a single reich, or empire, in 1871.” A Trump campaign representative claimed that the video was posted by a campaign staff member while the candidate was in court. That underscores the bigger problem in the Republican Party today, one that goes far beyond Mr. Trump: a generation of young Republican staff members appears to be developing terminal white nationalist brain. And they will staff the next Republican administration.

This is a problem that other Republican candidates have faced as well. Last July the Ron DeSantis campaign fired a speechwriter and former National Review contributor, Nate Hochman, for promoting a pro-DeSantis video featuring Nazi imagery ; and scores of Republican aides on Capitol Hill have been outed by reporters as “groypers” — a term used to describe fans of Mr. Fuentes.

Not every young Republican campaign staff member is a fascist. But the far right is a significant part of the Republican Party’s political coalition. Mr. Trump sailed through the G.O.P. primaries and has probably secured the nomination. The presence of so many extremist elements in positions of power and influence is the price to be paid in the party’s bargain with MAGAism: Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar addressed a white nationalist conference in 2022, and an investigative report from 2020 found that at least 12 Trump administrative aides had ties to neo-Nazi and anti-immigrant hate groups.

The contemporary American right might not be a monolith, but it functions like a “ popular front ,” which traditionally refers to the broad coalition between leftists and liberals in the 1930s unifying against a common fascist enemy. But similar dynamics existed on the right throughout the 20th century and continue.

This is not a new dynamic in conservative politics. The popular-front approach was the staple organizing principle of the American right during the 20th century. In fact, the right-wing popular front gave birth to modern conservatism, unifying a disparate group of right wingers, including luminaries like Senator Joseph McCarthy, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and William F. Buckley Jr. and more obscure — and more radical — figures like the magazine owner Russell Maguire, the classics professor Revilo Oliver and the American Nazi Party chief George Lincoln Rockwell. What bound this motley coalition together was shared opposition to communism, socialism and New Deal liberalism.

Extremists and fascist sympathizers could be found even in the commanding heights of the movement — and other conservatives knew it. Mr. Maguire, a Connecticut businessman and arms manufacturer, purchased The American Mercury magazine in 1952 and turned it into one of the most influential conservative journals of its day, inveighing against the threat of international communism, creeping liberalism and collectivism. It was perhaps the most widely read conservative magazine of its era, with a circulation of over 100,000 at its peak in the mid-1950s (by contrast, Mr. Buckley’s National Review struggled to reach 20,000 readers by the end of the decade).

But Mr. Maguire was also an outspoken antisemite who helped distribute books claiming that a Jewish plot threatened to subvert America. The editor of The American Mercury, William Bradford Huie, defended his professional relationship with the publisher because Mr. Maguire’s money was helping to get the conservative message out. “If suddenly I heard Adolf Hitler was alive in South America and wanted to give a million dollars to The American Mercury,” he told a reporter, “I would go down and get it.”

Still, there were political limits to openly embracing the swastika only a few years after World War II, which suggests that appeals to a “unified reich” will backfire on the Trump campaign. Both Mr. Maguire and Mr. Buckley had employed Mr. Rockwell at their magazines in the late 1950s. Mr. Rockwell, who according to his autobiography had embraced Nazism as early as 1951, approached Mr. Maguire in the late 1950s to finance a “slow, secret Nazi buildup” throughout the country. To Mr. Rockwell’s dismay, Mr. Maguire — a millionaire — offered him only $1,000. The political costs of organizing under the swastika were too high.

After Mr. Rockwell began making public appearances as a Nazi, he quickly became one of the most hated men in the country. Ironically, many of his political stances — opposition to the civil rights movement, support for segregation and intense antipathy to communism — were relatively popular in America in the 1960s, but explicitly tying those politics to Nazi imagery was a dead end. Whatever behind-the-scenes political influence Mr. Rockwell amassed working for The American Mercury or National Review was extinguished when he embraced the swastika.

Times have changed. While the far right has not been the decisive political force that put Mr. Trump in office, he has benefited from its support in some states — and has never paid a clear political price for boosting extremists. Despite his extensive record of political extremism, Mr. Trump still won over 74 million votes in 2020 and has maintained a consistent polling edge over President Biden in 2024.

Contemporary far-right activists like Mr. Fuentes clearly see Mr. Trump’s campaign as another opportunity to build power and influence. And unlike in decades past — where the far right was an important part of the right-wing popular front but did not exert hegemonic control — MAGAism is today the dominant strain in conservative politics.

If elected, Mr. Trump has promised to not govern as a dictator “except for Day 1” of his administration and to “root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical-left thugs.” These are not empty words; the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 proposals are a road map to use executive authority to purge the federal government and replace current civil servants with conservative loyalists.

The likeliest candidates for those positions are campaign staff members and other activists. Given that it now seems to be almost commonplace for Republican staff members to have ties to white nationalists and neo-Nazis and that the Texas G.O.P. recently voted against barring them from associating with antisemitic individuals or groups, we should be very concerned about the potential role of far-right aides in a second Trump administration.

A unified reich in America may still be just a fantasy, but those fantasists could soon be in positions of real power.
