Linking paragraphs with adverbials

English · Grammar & Punctuation · procedural

Link ideas across paragraphs using adverbials of time (later, meanwhile, after a while), place (nearby, far away, beyond the wall), and number (secondly, finally, in addition) to guide the reader through a multi-paragraph text

What mastery looks like

  • Begin a new paragraph with an adverbial of time to signal a shift in time or sequence, e.g. 'Meanwhile, back at the castle...' or 'Several hours later, the storm finally passed'
  • Use adverbials of place to move the reader to a new location between paragraphs, e.g. 'Beyond the forest, the land was flat and dry'
  • Use numbering or addition adverbials to structure non-fiction across paragraphs, e.g. 'The first reason... The second reason... In addition...'

Check your understanding

When Linking paragraphs with adverbials writes a multi-paragraph story or report, do they use linking phrases — like "Meanwhile, far away…" or "By the following morning…" — to guide the reader smoothly from one section to the next?
