Cohesion & Coherence

ភាពស្អិតរមួត និងភាពស៊ីសង្វាក់គ្នា

Cohesion is the glue that holds text together. We use Discourse Markers to connect ideas so the reader does not get lost.

ភាពស្អិតរមួតប្រៀបដូចជាកាវដែលភ្ជាប់អត្ថបទចូលគ្នា។ យើងប្រើពាក្យសម្គាល់ (Discourse Markers) ដើម្បីភ្ជាប់គំនិតកុំឱ្យអ្នកអានវង្វេង។

Cohesion is the "grammar glue" (pronouns, linkers) that holds sentences together. Coherence is the "logic glue"—does the whole paragraph actually make sense to the reader? Both are important! lightbulb

Yes, absolutely! It is very common to start a new sentence with "However," to show a contrast with the previous sentence. Just remember to put a comma after it! For example: "It was raining. However, we still played football." ⚽

That is okay! You can use a general category word instead. For example, if you don't know another word for "Ferrari", you can just say "the car" or "the vehicle". It still links the idea perfectly! drive_eta
