Paragraph Cohesion
English · Grammar & Punctuation · procedural
Link ideas across paragraphs using a wider range of cohesive devices including word repetition, grammatical connections such as adverbials, and ellipsis to create coherent extended texts
What mastery looks like
- Use adverbials such as 'on the other hand' and 'as a consequence' to connect paragraphs
- Apply ellipsis to avoid repetition while maintaining clarity across sentences
- Create cohesion by repeating key words or using synonyms to link ideas between paragraphs
Check your understanding
When Paragraph Cohesion writes a long piece across several paragraphs, do the sections feel connected — with repeated key words, linking phrases, and occasional gaps (ellipsis) used deliberately to hold the whole text together?
